“If a VP could unilaterally reject elector votes, they could effectively “install” a president because they could OVERRIDE any congressional vote. You moron you.”

What?

That makes no sense. Congress votes. All the vp could do is turn it over the congress to vote on who becomes President. The exact opposite of overriding congress.

You don’t understand how contingency voting works or can’t articulate what you’re trying to say.

The congress votes to accept the elector votes.

Then, the VP comes along and rejects those elector votes.

VP rejecting elector votes is what some people here wanted (thought?) Pence would do.

"You don’t understand how contingency voting works or can’t articulate what you’re trying to say."

For you to make such a declaratory statement shows how ignorant you are on what you've accused me of.
If your going to call someone ignorant on a subject, like you did, you better do your homework first if you don't want to look like a fool.
My posting history is FILLED with actual documented references to the history and the law on this process, including several on contingency voting and the overall process:

Go troll someone else.
