You saw it when Cheney asked for objections to Obama’s election results in 2008. He looked up and looked around, and then back down.

Silence.

They ALL knew.

[Nero Germanicus]

Vice President Cheney was criticized because he never asked for objections to certifying Obama’s electors.

The supposed reason that he did not ask for objections is that the law requires all objections to be in writing and signed by at least one Senator and one Representative. Since no written objections had been received, calling for them was considered to be moot?
