Hey there, genius: that law was modified in 2022. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Count_Reform_and_Presidential_Transition_Improvement_Act_of_2022
Note that this was AFTER the 2020 “election” fiasco. It was pushed through by members of both parties who hated and/or feared Donald Trump, and who never wanted another “election” challenged. You cannot quote the subsequently-modified law as if it was in effect at the time of the “election “ in question, or on 1/6/21.
You can like or dislike Trump or Pence, as you see fit - those are your opinions. But you are not entitled to your own facts.
There is not, nor was there ever, any mechanism or power in the Constitution or laws or congressional rules giving the Vice President this kind of authority to “send it back” nor any mechanism for the States to have a do-over after they already sent in their Electors. Period. To say otherwise is ignorance at best or lying at worst. But in both cases it is embarrassing this keeps being claimed. The only mechanism by which the Electors could be blocked is if they are rejected and not counted. Congress chose not to do this. The Vice President has no such unilateral authority - if a motion for him to rule on was brought during the proceedings, but that would subject to appeal and override by the full Congress...but even so, no such mechanism or authority to do what is proposed exists, nor ever existed. There is no power for the Vice President to send electors back. There is no power or mechanism for state legislatures to redo their Electoral votes after they have been submitted to Congress. That all has to come before the fact, and none of the legislatures chose to do so. That is simple reality.
