The answer is no, because it would be a violation of the constitution. So for all you leftist and rinos saying he had no choice, that is just patently false.


This lie needs to stop, because literally the only basis for it is “because I read it on social media and would like it that way.”

Here is the Constitution on the matter:

quote:

The Electors shall meet in their respective States, and vote by Ballot for two Persons, of whom one at least shall not be an Inhabitant of the same State with themselves. And they shall make a List of all the Persons voted for, and of the Number of Votes for each; which List they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the Seat of the Government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate. The President of the Senate shall, in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives, open all the Certificates, and the Votes shall then be counted. The Person having the greatest Number of Votes shall be the President, if such Number be a Majority of the whole Number of Electors appointed; and if there be more than one who have such Majority, and have an equal Number of Votes, then the House of Representatives shall immediately chuse by Ballot one of them for President; and if no Person have a Majority, then from the five highest on the List the said House shall in like Manner chuse the President. But in chusing the President, the Votes shall be taken by States, the Representation from each State having one Vote; A quorum for this Purpose shall consist of a Member or Members from two thirds of the States, and a Majority of all the States shall be necessary to a Choice. In every Case, after the Choice of the President, the Person having the greatest Number of Votes of the Electors shall be the Vice President. But if there should remain two or more who have equal Votes, the Senate shall chuse from them by Ballot the Vice President.


At no point is It suggested that the VP can chose which ones to open. He is explicitly directed to open all votes that have been certified by the states. Stating otherwise is what is “patently false.”

There is a mechanism to overturn a state at the federal level, but the VP doesn’t unilaterally posses that authority. He can’t even evoke it. The trigger is elsewhere.


So GTFU with not only your refusal to educate yourself on even the basics about a document you claim to hold dear, but your degenerative attacks on anyone who doesn’t automatically accept your daydreaming “alternative facts” as truth.
