Pence just lost me. He might be technically right, but he misunderstands the room. The Constitution is lost. There is no Constitution and there hasn’t been one for many many years. He could have, should have... then let the courts decide.

One thing we have on our side, unlike Venezuela and so on, is that our states determine a great deal about our federal elections. Fix the states, and most of the fraud will melt away from our federal elections.

DeSantis cleaned up Flori-Duh, for example.

Election reform MUST be the big issue for state elections two years from now. If we are to get people to run for state office, this is the issue they need to run on.
...
Seriously? If this stands, why is any future election of any consequence? Didn’t you see Georgia yesterday...project that 2 yrs into the future...President Uniparty; Senate Uniparty; House Uniparty...kinda see how that works now? This means our side never wins again.

What was Jefferson’s circumstance for rejecting electors? Were there competing slates or evidence of election fraud?

2 months, 2 weeks, 2 days, 2 hours, 2 minutes, 2 seconds, do not change the constitution.

You need an amendment for that.

It doesn’t matter if be is right. When you are fighting corruption that ignores the law you are back in the Wild West. Outlaws could be shot on sight because they were “outside the law.” The law only protects you when you submit to it. The Dems are OUTSIDE OF THE LAW. They do not deserve Constitutional service or lawful proceedings.

And folks on here didn’t believe me when I said Pence would not overturn the election for Trump. Pence is just another politician with his finger in the wind and afraid to anger the establishment GOP.

You're absolutely right. What kind of idiot thinks the VP can unilaterally discard the electoral votes of a state?

Maybe the same kind of idiot that thinks electoral votes that are in violation of that state's laws should not be allowed. Maybe the same kind of idiot that thinks it's not OK to accept fraudulent EC votes in violation of State and Federal laws. Maybe the same kind of idiot who thinks a coup d'état is - well - a bad thing.

I hope you like your new form of government. Me? I kinda liked what we had. But that's over with.

"Pence...said...he doesn’t believe he has the “unilateral authority” to decide between competing slates of electors."

He is right, of course.

Agreed. But "unilateral authority to decide" is not the issue.

As presiding officer he has the right, if not the duty in the face of compelling evidence of wide spread fraud and illegalities to manage the JS in a way that affords the various states an opportunity to reconsider and recertify their certificates. There can be no doubt the abundance of evidence would produce a different outcome.

America is being railroaded by both weak actors and dedicated evil actors.

If the man had a proper moral compass he would have waited until the end of the hearing before he lay down on his back and Lee into the air like a submissive puppy

My Conscience and the US Constitution “Constrain” me from counting and certifying the Electoral Votes with so much Credible Evidence of Election Fraud brought Forth in multiple States. I therefore refer the matter to the House to Vote for President.
