You're pathological.Getting back to the thread, the Vice President does have the authority to halt the certification process of the election if they suspect irregularities.
The VP has no authority to do any such thing. The VP's role is as an MC, announcing which states are reporting their counts, to check if any members of Congress object to any returns, and to bang his gavel to report when the joint session is in session and on recess.
