Next ... Mike Pence had the legal and moral obligation to record electoral college votes untainted by the questions of voter fraud, violation of the US Constitution and state law. A man who wasn't owned lock, stock and barrell; heart, mind and soul by the corrupt deep state would have returned the questioned tallies to the state legislatures for review, audit and recertification. I submit it is YOU who needs to cough up some chalk dust after writing until you can write no longer: "I will not blame Donald Trump for Mike Pence lacking all honor and choosing poorly".
Lastly ... We are now living under a Marxist regime shrouded in an avalanche of electoral illegality ----- courtesy of Mike Pence's failures surrounding January 6. This is a breach so heineous this nation may never recover --- yet it will forever be recorded as one of Mike Pence's "proudest" moments. The dustbin of political history justly awaits him.
@MikePence
Although this subject has become tiresome, it's a fair bet it will come up again; whenever it does a factual, logical summary will be important. So let's try it this way instead, as a draft of a standard "boilerplate" response to set the record straight as often as necessary :
@Right_in_Virginia consistently ignores the fact that the electoral votes counted during the Joint Session of Congress beginning January 6 2021 had all been certified by the respective states, and furthermore all states except Wisconsin had certified their results before the "safe harbor deadline" of December 8 2020, which legally obligated Congress to accept the state's electoral votes. Whether or not we like the procedures used by each of the states, each state's results were certified in accord with its own state law, hence the electors for each state in fact were selected in a "Manner which the Legislature thereof [did] direct." I agree with many that some of those results should not have been certified, but in fact they were.
Furthermore Right_in_Virginia continues to ignore the obvious fact that the position she advocates would enable Democrat state legislators, acting with no official authority other than their titles, to recall certified electoral votes for Republican candidates on any manufactured fictional pretense or even no pretense at all. And everyone who reads this board knows that Democrat state legislators would do exactly that.
https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,440396.msg2447849.html#msg2447849Right_in_Virginia consistently fails to cite any Constitutional or statutory justification for the idea that a request by state legislators to return the electoral votes of their states can be considered. Neither the Twelfth Amendment nor the Electoral Vote Count Act of 1887 provides for such a request or even mentions it as a possibility, not when requested as a legal act of the entire state legislature and certainly not when requested by smaller groups of legislators. Nor is any authority given to the President of the Senate to act on any such requests.
https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,440396.msg2447974.html#msg2447974Right_in_Virginia continues a false account of the actual events of the Joint Session of Congress, maintaining that no objections to state electoral votes were allowed once Congress re-convened after the demonstration; in fact contemporaneous media reports prove that objections to PA's electoral votes were raised and fully considered after Congress re-convened.
https://www.gopbriefingroom.com/index.php/topic,440396.msg2447967.html#msg2447967Each of these points has already been made to Right_in_Virginia; she has completely failed to rebut any of them and merely repeats her erroneous premises and fallacious conclusions. Her continued insistence on a theory supported by neither Constitution nor statute, which would set a disastrous political precedent and is based in part on a counter-factual narrative, simply creates confusion. Her position on this subject should be actively rejected as often as she presents it.
