Vice-President Harris will certify the Nov 2024 election results

Vice-President Kamala Harris will certify the Nov 2024 election results because, in her words, doing so is

"A SACRED DUTY."




I'll leave it at that and make no comments.

He should not be certified.
No insurrectionist can hold office without the disability removed by 2/3 of both houses.

He has to have that removed in order to take office.

Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights
Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Al Gore (2001) all had to certify the electoral votes from a Presidential election in which they, personally, were the losing party. There's video on YouTube of Nixon doing this -- in it, he specifically mentions that certifying the results is his duty, no matter who the winner was.
