So, you think it’s a good idea to establish a precedent where the sitting VP gets to choose the next President?

Seems like there might be a bit of a problem with that. How would you like Harris to have that kind of power?

Pence, or any other VP is/does not choose the next president. They have the power to not accept a particular set of electors, after which debate occurs, during which evidence is presented to support the allegations of fraud.

The dems do it each election where a republican wins, but have not mounted a sufficient set of evidence to overturn.

In this case, Pence is actually doing his constitutional duty when he rejects a set of electors and their votes, which gives the whole body time to digest facts and then decide.

I have no problem with EVERY election being contested that is this close, and then hammer out the details to make sure no shenanigans have taken place.

BS, the only reason this strategy is being proposed is to ensure Pence can choose the next President. You are extremely naive to believe otherwise.
