OK, just watched the 2009 Electoral College vote count.

It sounds to me that prior to the votes being announced, Cheney stated that, without objections, the votes were being presented without there being formal forms of the certificates presented. I am unsure as to whether this is a distinction without a difference.
Though someone with better hearing might listen to the video.
Some note that Cheney did call for objections in 2005, but remember that he had been told in advance there there was to be an objection made in 2005.
Are you able to watch this clip?
My computer says it can’t go there. Can you get to it? It’s supposed to be a clip of the electoral vote count from the 2004 election.
