Here’s what I know....
....at least one senator and one representative have to “nominate” a state to have bad electors in that there were great issues with the state’s voting procedures.
Then each house of congress separates and they can then spend up to five minutes each discussing the matter. Then they come back and vote whether to dismiss the slate of electors that were reflecting these bad moves in the nominated states’ voting procedures.
Now that is what actually happened.
I am not sure how the VP had any input or affect on that procedure except I do know the VP is the President of the Senate.
So Pence could have thrown out the electors, in this case it was Georgia and Pennsylvania, and had the states rethink their procedures?
Does it say that somewhere in the constitution? Or is it assumed because he is president of the senate?
This was, in fact, what that famous phone call to the Georgia Sec of state by Trump was all about. The concept is that the states questioned for bad voting procedures was already being debated in court and Trump was doing some more debate via phone.
So Pence threw such chance out the window because, as he asserts, it was an action not allowed to him by the constitution.
The five states in question sent two slates of electors.
One slate for Biden, one slate for Trump.
Pence changes the rules (sound familiar) and rejected the Trump slate from consideration
“Now that is what actually happened.”
Nope. Five or six states were going to have certifications contested by at least one Senator and one House member. EACH STATE has the two-hour debate provision.
They sort-of got through Arizona, leaving five more states to finish the two-hour debates. There should have been a total of 12 hours before the end of that phase.
When Antifa started the violence, and when a cop shot Ashli (they had to shoot SOMEONE in order for their plan to play out), Congress critters went ballistic. Pence arbitrarily changed the law at that moment.
You need to listen to Dr. John Eastman.
