Pence May Reject Biden’s Fraudulent Electors

Firebrand and freedom fighter Boris Epshteyn, a Trump 2020 adviser, is working overtime through the holidays to legally prove election fraud and rightfully overturn the results, namely, in Arizona.

Epshteyn, a regular guest on Steve Bannon’s “War Room,” said during his latest appearance on the number one political podcast in the country, that Vice President Mike Pence may reject the slate of electors he finds fraudulent during a joint session of Congress on January 6.

Boris was responding to a question about how President Trump can still prevail.

“So when the time comes on January 6…” the Vice President can count the “correct electors…the electors based on the most legal votes,” Epshteyn said on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast. “Let not forget that a week ago today, the Trump electors were sent to Congress…along with the Biden electors,” he continued. Epshteyn later said the Trump team is prepared to fight well past January 6 if Congress cannot certify a winner.

This is significant since Vice President Mike Pence is tasked with reading each states’ electors into the official record during the Joint Session of Congress on January 6.

Some legal scholars have argued that where there are disputes over electors, the vice president has the legal authority to read into the record only that slate of electors which he believes is correct.

There’s discrepancy between legal scholars who say the vice president has no such power and may only read the slate of electors transmitted to the Congress by state officials. The answer to who wields this power or not falls within the open question of law that must be decided by the Supreme Court of the United States.

SCOTUS has never ruled on this issue in history. However, if Pence rejects some of Joe Biden’s electors, this could be the first time in history the highest court in the nation resolves this question.

Yup. And that's the point right? The state legislatures are starting to feel the pressure from their constituents to set their fraudulent elections right.

Without constant pressure from "we the people," they wouldn't be doing even the little (but growing) amount they are doing now.

Every vote from these states is illegal, and every elector.

The states in question don't agree with you.

"These states changed their election laws without going through the legislature. Every vote from these states is illegal, and every elector."

Not only that, but any vote counted AFTER federal "election day" is illegal as well.

A unanimous SCOTUS decision confirms this.

"At midnight on the evening of November 3, and as illustrated in Table 1, President Trump was ahead by more than 110,000 votes in Wisconsin and more than 290,000 votes in Michigan. In Georgia, his lead was a whopping 356,945; and he led in Pennsylvania by more than half a million votes. By December 7, however, these wide Trump leads would turn into razor thin Biden leads – 11,779 votes in Georgia, 20,682 votes in Wisconsin, 81,660 votes in Pennsylvania, and 154,188 votes in Michigan."

How many people lately have followed the law when it was their duty to do so?
There needs to be a visible “do the right thing or we drag you out and eat you” ultimatum.
And it needs to be followed through on.
Every time, until they understand enough is enough.

I have never trusted Mike Pence.

He is a company man.

I hope he proves me wrong.

The core of the challenge MUST come from the Republican controlled state legislatures in the contested states...using their Article II Constitutional responsibilities and authority to send a different slate of electors to the feds by Jan 4th.

And none of them will do that unless the courts invalidate the election first. So far they haven't been willing to do that.

The second set of electors will require the state legislatures to certify them in order for this to have a chance.

How does he count conflicting elector votes if the congress doesn’t throw them out by majority vote?

‘How many times does it have to be pointed out that Pence does not have the authority to choose which electors he counts.’

every day, apparently...

Correction. The second set of the electors was not from just the GOP, but was from the majority of the representative state legislature.

So you do not think it’s possible for one or more states to send two opposing group of electors?

Ugh. Grasping at straws.

Using a constitutional process is "grasping at straws."

It all comes down to Pence. Is he a company man, or is he a patriot?

There is going to be blood whether we fight or surrender.

Might as well fight.

The Qtards say Pence is a bad guy.
That means Pence will opt to crawl into a secret tunnel and beat up
some babies to harvest Adrenochromes while he worships Satan.

Trust the Plan.

there are no conflicting elector votes

Republican electors going on the steps this month and voting for Trump meant nothing

Too much is for show or paying lip service. The legislatures have the power, but not the will. They figure they can still appeal if they say a lot, but do nothing.
