NFBW: I’m batting a thousand against you and every corrupted Republican mind here:
chaos: “Of course Pence did
not have the power to overturn the election - Trump only wanted Pence to create chaos on Jan6 (the wild day) by recognizing the fake electors Trump had arranged to bring ti the ceremonial event on Jan6.
You are voting for the political party to win, that attempted to defraud the US government by creating chaos on January 6 including inciting its supporters to commit violence in order to stop the peaceful transfer of power to Joe Biden and thus shit upon the right to vote for every single Biden voter. That includes the mostly whiter than white political party shitting on the rights of nine out of ten black Americans who voted and their children and grandchildren coming up behind them.
Chaos was the plan Trump was hoping wouid work as he sat on his fat ass doing absolutely nothing to stop the violent attack on the US Governnent and the Constitution he as president took an oath to protect..
It is the Eastman memo that Trump intended to obstruct and subvert the CONSTITUTION. In the name of Each and every Republican except Cheney and Kizinger and all Republican never-Trumpers.
To your point
Papageorgio I actually knew on Jan6,2021 that Pence did not have the authority to send electors certificates back to the state. So I knew Trump was lying.
What we all learned later was that Trump knew on Jan6 that Pence did not have that authority, and Trump knew the election was not stolen, but went ahead with his plot to create chaos and then the Constitution lays out it’s up to the House of Representatives to decide the entire election which Republicans held a one or two vote majority and could decide that Trump/Pence would serve a second term and it’s out with Biden’s win.

lennypartiv and
Correll last this past January):

NFBW220129-
#1,242 “We cannot have a revote in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin because the Constitution does not allow it in any way shape or form for any state that certified their electors by the constitutional deadline of December 14. - - - It is an observable fact that all fifty states certified their electors by that hard deadline. - - - It was over for Trump on December 14 as far as a legal path to a second term being available to him. - - - This is where the fake electors scandal comes into play. The fact that Trump pressured Pence to do something illegal is not an opinion as @
Correll wants us to believe. That is because the only way that Pence could refuse to count the electors from any one state would be if he had received a duplicate set of electors from each of those states. But those states were certified so there was no reason to have a duplicate set of electors. - - - But we now know that there is a conspiracy involving the White House, Rudy Giuliani, a lawyer named John Eastman and 56 High ranking Republicans at the state level among seven states who put their signatures And a forgery claiming that they are the true electors for the state. That is a federal and state crime with sentences up to 20 years in prison. It is not a “so what” matter. 22JAN29-POST#1242..
THE PERTINENT PART OF THE EASTMAN MEMO from a full excerpt below;
chaos: So Pence says, fine. Pursuant to the 12th Amendment, no candidate has achieved the necessary majority. That sends the matter to the House, where the “the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote . . . .” Republicans currently control 26 of the state delegations, the bare majority needed to win that vote. President Trump is re-elected there as well.”

READ: Trump lawyer's memo on six-step plan for Pence to overturn the election
By: CNN Updated 8:20 AM EDT, Tue September 21, 2021 21SEP21-EASTMANplan-00 TRUMP-Jan6-COUPattempt
John Eastman, a conservative lawyer working with then-President Donald Trump's legal team, outlined in a two-page memo a scheme to try to persuade then-Vice President Mike Pence to subvert the Constitution and throw out the 2020 election results on January 6.
1. VP Pence, presiding over the joint session (or Senate Pro Tempore Grassley, if Pence recuses himself), begins to open and count the ballots, starting with Alabama (without conceding that the procedure, specified by the Electoral Count Act, of going through the States alphabetically is required).
2. When he gets to Arizona, he announces that he has multiple slates of electors, and so is going to defer decision on that until finishing the other States. This would be the first break with the procedure set out in the Act.
3. At the end, he announces that because of the ongoing disputes in the 7 States, there are no electors that can be deemed validly appointed in those States. That means the total number of “electors appointed” – the language of the 12th Amendment -- is 454. This reading of the 12th Amendment has also been advanced by Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe (here). A “majority of the electors appointed” would therefore be 228. There are at this point 232 votes for Trump, 222 votes for Biden. Pence then gavels President Trump as re-elected.
4. Howls, of course, from the Democrats, who now claim, contrary to Tribe’s prior position, that 270 is required. So Pence says, fine. Pursuant to the 12th Amendment, no candidate has achieved the necessary majority. That sends the matter to the House, where the “the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote . . . .” Republicans currently control 26 of the state delegations, the bare majority needed to win that vote. President Trump is re-elected there as well.
