Rep. L. Gohmert (R-Texas) VP Pence has ***Exclusive Authority*** to refuse EC Electors from Battleground States

[rightwinger]

Rep. L.Gohmert is correct, as VP, Pence has total authority to refuse electors from battleground states...

And that's exactly what he will do come January 6th.

Thank you and well done Mr.VP!

That is why Vice Presidents always get to pick who the next President is

Who needs voters??

GOP Lawmaker Sues Pence to Give Him ‘Exclusive Authority’ to Stop the Steal

"the “President of the Senate” has the exclusive constitutional authority to determine which “certificates” to
“open” and thus which electoral votes “to be counted.” This interpretation can derive support from the observation that the President of the Senate is the only officer, or instrumentality, of government given an active role
in the process of opening the certificates and counting the electoral votes from the states. The Senate and House of Representatives, on this view, have an observational role only. "

Pence has already refused to play. They tried negotiating with him prior to filing the suit. He refused.

That's from an "anonymously sourced" article. "Negotiating" with Pence would have no legal effect at all. What that article suggested makes absolutely no sense. Only a declaratory judgment from a court would have legal force of law.

Thank you and well done Mr.VP!

And when that does not happen what will be the next thing on your list that will disappoint you?

Don't be ridiculous, please.

If some states, like Pennsylvania for example, failed to follow their own election laws, it's the duty and obligation of the VP to refuse electors from that state.

That's what the Constitution says....if some don't like it, it's too bad.

According to your theory....who gets to decide whether the electors from Pennsylvania or any other state are valid?

Not the state, not the state court, not the Federal Courts.....but the partisan Vice President who just lost the election.

Would you have accepted it if VP Biden had rejected Trumps electors and established Hillary Clinton as President?

The article I read was from Politico and the source was Gohmert's attorneys.

In a motion to expedite proceedings, Gohmert and the electors revealed that their lawyers had reached out to Pence’s counsel in the Office of the Vice President to attempt to reach agreement before going to court.

“In the teleconference, Plaintiffs' counsel made a meaningful attempt to resolve the underlying legal issues by agreement, including advising the Vice President's counsel that Plaintiffs intended to seek immediate injunctive relief in the event the parties did not agree,” according to Gohmert’s filing. “Those discussions were not successful in reaching an agreement and this lawsuit was filed.”

Pence declined to back Gohmert-led effort to upend election, lawyers indicate

Rep. Louie Gohmert is pressing to throw out long-established procedures so that the president will win another term.

Exactly.

the 12A grants him EXCLUSIVE AUTHORITY to Stop The Steal

Than can only be done if he refuses the EC Voters from jurisdictions wherein individuals voted more than once, from out of state and/or foreigners.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ENTIRELY DISREGARD THE WILL OF THE VOTERS AND STEAL ELECTIONS.

He said "until every legal vote is counted." That's his clever way of not playin'. He will accept as legal the legal certified votes sent to him by the 50 states because no one has proven any of those votes were illegal.

The same technique was used by the Democrats in 1960 .

But the Republicans convinced Nixon not to fight.

WE THE PEOPLE - 80,000,000 + strong do not want Trump to concede or stop fighting.

As was done by the Demo Rats in 1960 , besides the EC Electors chosen by the Governors, slates of electors chosen by Republican-led state legislatures in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are being sent to DC.

VP Pence has the exclusive authority to decide which list he will accept.
