The January 6 Trump Insurrectionists chanted “Hang Mike Pence!!!” because he correctly refused to insert his own thoughts on the legitimacy of electoral votes into the ministerial duty of counting the received electoral votes.
If the Trump idiots and Trump’s attorneys believe that the VP can, own their own, decide which electoral votes to count and which to disregard — then I suggest VP Harris claim the same power. Let’s watch how fast they change their mind when VP Harris says she may not certify votes from Texas or Georgia because of voter suppression.
My proposal is that VP Harris come forward now, from the Senate desk she sits at as President of the Senate, and announce her conclusion that she alone has the power to decide which electoral votes will and will not be counted.
VP Harris then further states she will not accept any electoral votes from any state which:
1. Does not have same day voter registration; or
2. Does not have no excuse absentee voting; or
3. Does not have a minimum of 14 days early voting; or
4. Any state which requires voter ID , but does not accept as a valid ID at least a student ID, a bank statement, a current paycheck, a government check, a utility bill, or an EBT card.
VP Harris should show the Trump idiots and Trump’s attorneys for the fools they are. If they thought VP Pence had this power then why doesn't VP Harris? If it was good for the 2020 election then why not the 2024 election?
While I know this will never happen, I offer it to show hypocrisy.
Maybe this will work its way around so that the media will start asking Republicans if they think VP Harris has the power some claim VP Pence had.
