Will Harris be in the same position as Pence?

[multigraincracker]

Pence said. “President Trump demanded that I use my authority as vice president presiding over the count of the Electoral College to essentially overturn the election by returning or literally rejecting votes.

Could, unlikely but, could she throw out the electoral vote?

[obamanut2012]

1. hy in the world would she do that? And no, the VP has no authority to do that anyway

[multigraincracker]

2. There is no way she would, but using their logic.

[Frasier Balzov]

3. Al Gore is the role model for this function.

[Mister Ed]

4. Wasn't legal then, isn't legal now.

Pence wouldn't do it then, Harris wouldn't do it now.

[multigraincracker]

7. Of course she wouldn't, but might tfg fear it?

[AZSkiffyGeek]

5. More left-wing authoritarian pipe-dreams.... NT

6. I hope not.

I am not saying ignore the polls. I am saying to remember that 90% of the polls are owned,
operated or controlled by trump’s maggots. These maggots want to make you feel your vote is useless.

The other reason the polls are rigged is so when trump declares the election illegal and gets his herd of
Maggots to contest the election. He can claim the polls all said he should have won.

Do not give that turd an excuse to contest the election. Vote Blue, Vote Big. A landslide for the democrats
up and down the ballot will wipe out his excuse of rigged election.

8. Pence wouldn't but Johnson very well might.

[Karma13612]

16. I didn't think Johnson had any authority

On his own regarding this.

[wryter2000]

9. No n/t

[displacedvermoter]

10. Maybe the question is, because she is one of two candidates

is she prohibited from being the certifying official, though it seems that Gore carried out that duty, so probably not an issue.

[multigraincracker]

11. A good reporter might tfg that question.

[displacedvermoter]

12. Not sure what you mean

[obamanut2012]

18. No, Bush certified his win, Gore his loss

[displacedvermoter]

22. Yes

[Fiendish Thingy]

13. No

The ECRA of 2022 clarifies the role of the VP is strictly ministerial.

[Gore1FL]

14. No. Pence couldn't do it either. nt

[Jacson6]

15. No, The VP role is cermonial. Only the House can decide to vote for president.

Based on certain conditions a outlined in law and the Constitution.

[Karma13612]

19. And the House only gets involved

If neither candidate reaches the required minimum number of electoral votes-270.
That’s my biggest fear. It goes to the House where it’s a Republican Majority with Johnson as Speaker. They would have the majority and therefore pick Trump.

Or am I wrong? Yes, I am!

EDIT!!! According to further research, turns out that it’s the newly elected House that does the voting if neither candidate reaches the 270 electoral votes! So, we could have a chance at Kamala if we can win back the House, right?

[Jacson6]

21. Right.

Each State gets only one vote. Each representative decides who that State will vote for as one State. They can do a vote by the majority of congress reps in the State. (If I remember my American Constitution class from 40 years ago, correctly.)

[Karma13612]

17. Why would she do something like that?

She doesn’t have the authority, just as Pence did not have the authority in 2021.

[multigraincracker]

20. What I'm trying to say, lets ask tRump is she could.
