Dion - I've said it as many ways as I can. Pence could have said anything he wanted, and it wouldn't matter. Only what is on the certificates matters. LOL Problem solved. And there is a law to enforce that. What on earth do you want me to say. I've outlined the procedure, and told you the law that deals with it. LOL What Pence reads out or doesn't read out is ceremonial. What about that do you not get? There is absolutely no debate on this. The law has it covered. You can come out from under the blanket. It's all good. LOL
By YOUR logic, Pence could cast ALL of the electoral votes for sambowieshins, now, do you REALY believe that sam would be appointed POTUS? LOL Do you REALLY think that congress doesn't already know the results, but if Pence said sambowieshins captured all of the electoral votes, that they'd throw up their hands and say, "Oh well." I guess sam is the new President.
Pence could have had a stroke, and said Big Bird won, through no fault of his own. Would Big Bird be running the country? And that it would present a Constitutional Crisis to try and correct it? hahaha
You are truly and utterly ridiculous sometimes.
Even by your standards, tonight's argument is absurd...
