Nonsequitur. You actually saying that merely because of omission of the word “legitimate”, the Constitution of law (take note) countenances illegitimate votes? Under the Constitution, crime is legal? The actions of those who certified in 2021 say otherwise; they know they broke the law.

My point is that it's not up to the VP of the United States to determine what is and is not a "legitimate" set of electoral votes from any given state.

This whole discussion inevitably descends into retardation. Give the VP that kind of discretion, and you will have Kamala Harris disqualifying electoral votes from South Dakota and Wyoming in January 2025 because some dude from a Cheyenne or Sioux reservation will claim that he wasn't allowed to vote.

This “case” (which is actually not one) is Constitutional science fiction.

The “election” alleged to be fraudulent has no Constitutional existence. The 50 State Legislatures which appoint 535 Electors (and Congress, which appoints 3) have all adopted the custom of having people voting as the means by which the appointments are normally made, but this creates 51 elections, not one.

Those 51 elections occur at the direction of, and are subservient to, 50 legislatures and Congress. The States unwisely granted Congress 3 Electors by ratifying the XXIII Amendment in 1960, so Congress does have supervisory power OVER THOSE THREE, but not otherwise.

There is only one Presidential election in the Constitution, it takes place in December, there are 538 voters, and in December 2020 Biden got 306 of them and was elected President.

No State Legislature objected that its Electors were not the ones they had appointed. No State Legislature even convened to consider the matter. In the case of Pennsylvania, the Legislature fled to avoid considering the matter.

It has never been alleged that a single one of the 306 votes for Biden/Harris was a forgery, that the Electors who casted them were impersonating someone else, or that the Legislatures had secretly appointed other Electors.

There is zero space for an allegation of fraud in the Constitutional Presidential election of December 14, 2020.

As far as the 51 elections which occurred on November 3, 2020, they may very well have been rife with fraud, but since the appointment power of the 50 State Legislatures (535) and Congress (3) is plenary, that’s a problem for those legislatures to deal with should they choose to do so.
