Did Pence ever receive the votes of the crackpot "electors"?

[Kaleva]

As far as I can tell from reading news reports, the only votes that made it to the Capitol were the legitimate ones. There are year old reports that the fake electors sent their votes to the Office of Federal Archives but I can't find any source that says any were sent to the VP . The law requires that the VP gets one of the 6 certified copies .

As we know, Pence did receive the legitimate votes because they were opened and counted on Jan 6th.

1. Yes, he amended the rules along with the parliamentarian to prevent them from certification. (Nt)

2. They were already certified before he received them

I'm talking about the legit ones.

"Under the Electoral Count Act (updated and codified in 3 U.S.C. § 9), each state's electors must complete six certificates of vote. Each Certificate of Vote (or Certificate of the Vote) must be signed by all of the electors and a certificate of ascertainment must be attached to each of the certificates of vote. Each Certificate of Vote must include the names of those who received an electoral vote for either the office of president or of vice president. The electors certify the Certificates of Vote, and copies of the certificates are then sent in the following fashion:[122]

One is sent by registered mail to the President of the Senate (who usually is the incumbent vice president of the United States);
Two are sent by registered mail to the Archivist of the United States;
Two are sent to the state's secretary of state; and
One is sent to the chief judge of the United States district court where those electors met."

4. Thanks but I'm just trying to find out if Pence ever did get the crackpot votes.

It was reported that the fake electors sent their votes to the Archivist of the United States but I haven't found any reputable source that Pence, as President of the Senate, received copies too.

I have found reports like below:

"At the same time Wisconsin's Electoral College votes were being cast for Biden, Republicans for the losing candidate Trump also met. They plan to send their votes on to Congress on the thin hope that a future court ruling could award the state to Trump."

By Congress, do they mean the President of the Senate?

Fire everyone at the national archives.

8. No he didn't.

All Certificates were sent to the Archivist. Only the official ones were sent to Pence and Congress.

9. Pertinent Pence alteration to rules:

10. Alternate Elector slate were publicly reported in December

He may have written the instructions to have an answer as to why they weren't counted.

11. Apparently, Pence was thwarting the coup plot.

Perhaps to avoid jail himself he was unwilling to go along with #FailedCoupGuy. Knowing that the fraudulent electors scheme had been vetoed by Pence likely influenced the more desperate attempt to stop the count, the violent mob.
