And there is no mechanism for a “do-over” in the Constitution. There is no new date for the Electors to meet and vote. Congress could reject them, but they could not be recast. If enough got rejected that neither candidate got a majority of Electors, then the election would go to the House.

But the fact is that Pence could either be the greatest man to ever be VP, or the worst to ever be VP - that doesn’t change the reality the VP has no such power - you cannot find in the Constitution, you cannot find it in the statutes governing the counting process, and you cannot find it in the Congressional rules. It does not exist. He presides over the proceedings to count them, can rule on motions made, but his rulings can be overruled by procedure as the presiding officer...

What if he did it anyway? What if he raised a holy hell of a stink about how corrupt the election was, and what if he put forth the opinion that Biden's numbers are impossible, and therefore faked, and he was not going to go along with any of it?
What if he directed that the election be sent to the House?
Would we be worse off than now?
