Both Article II, Section 1, Clause 3 and the 12th Amendment clearly shows the VP as the last link in the chain of custody for electoral votes imo.
Excerpted from 12th Amendment: "[…] and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate;--The President of the Senate [emphasis added] shall, in the presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the certificates and the votes shall then be counted; […]"

Noting that I'm not up to speed with specific events regarding 1792 United States presidential election, here's some interesting wording from a contemporary article about about John Adams, Washington's VP, counting the electoral votes.

"It fell to John Adams, the vice president and presiding officer of the Senate, to count the ballots cast by the electoral college delegates." —C. James Taylor, JOHN ADAMS: CAMPAIGNS AND ELECTIONS, UVA Miller Center

Consider that if you fill out your own federal taxes with long form tax deductions to pay unconstitutional federal taxes, then surely you can count 132 electoral votes by yourself.

Also consider that the 1864 Civil War reelection of President Lincoln established an Electoral College precedent by simply ignoring any electoral votes of the Confederate states, “states not in good standing” (my words). Minimum electoral votes needed to win Oval Office were probably adjusted.

"Because eleven Southern states had declared secession from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America, only twenty-five states participated in the election." — Presidential election of 1864.

This time around, instead of secession, the issue is organized, desperate Democratic vote-counting fraud.

Corrections, insights welcome.

If Pence becomes the modern day Brutus, stabbing his boss
in the back the GOP dies a quick death.

Trump will found the America First party with the 95% of the GOP and 7T5 million who voted for him

McTurdle is 7Q8 years old and will be 84 years old at he
end of his term if he lives that long.

Look how Fox news is doing in the ratings, that is the GOP
future if they screw over on the Trump base.

Wait till you see the DC rally on the national mall on
January 6th, that will show the extent of the DJT base
loyalty.

“This time around, instead of secession”...

When the news is reporting, daily, on new proofs of public officials, federal, state and local, meeting with representatives of the CCP... taking money from them... as we observe policy shifting to align with CCP interests ?

In the Civil War, the southerns states at least had the integrity to announce it when they opted to secede.

Democrats and RINO’s, like Benedict Arnold, don’t have that sort of integrity... but they have in fact departed from allegiance and have violated obligations in fealty to the Constitution... they’re just lying about it.

Are there any PRROFS... that states have aligned with foreign powers ?

And, what if there are ?
