14. What was fascinating about it

Dec 2022

was that the states receive a "brochure" (it's online too) for how they handle the Certificates of Acertainments and Certificates of Votes (the Elector votes) and it explicitly indicates how many copies of things need to be sent wherever and THAT not only includes NARA, but the "President of the Senate" (the U.S. VP), and even their local Federal District Court's office.

I.e., - https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/state-officials/so-instructions

Instructions and Guidance for State Officials and Points of Contact

(snip)

Distribute Paired Certificates of Ascertainment and Vote

Distribute the SIX (6) pairs of Certificates to the designated Federal and State officials as follows: 

  • Send ONE (1) pair to the President of the Senate,  
    The Honorable Michael R. Pence. 

  • Send TWO (2) pairs to the Archivist of the United States, 
    David S. Ferriero, c/o Office of the Federal Register (F). 

  • Send TWO (2) pairs to the Secretary of State in your State.

  • Send ONE (1) pair to the Chief Judge of the Federal District Court located where your State’s electors met.


  • (snip)



    And IIRC, I think at least one state sent exactly as above (including to their local Federal District Court)!
