“obligates, President of the Senate to require legislatures of “swing states” to make a “post-election certification” of electors before he will carry out his explicit Constitutional duty”

What if they don’t? What if one or more of those states where fraud is alleged/proven, say, bugger off, we’re not certifying. Then what does the VP do?

Meister, the author, takes the position that the VP should not count those votes. I disagree with him. My point is that the Constitution does not require a "post-election certification" of electors by the state legislatures. The state legislatures have already provided by law for certification of the electors by their respective governors or secretaries of state, who, in those states, certified the electors who voted for Biden. The VP will have no basis for refusing to count those electors' votes.
