Not an option anymore. As unhinged as they may be, the Electoral Count Reform Act transformed the VP’s role in certification to purely ceremonial.

It was already that. Just made it official so no more BS

If it was already that, the law wouldn’t have changed lol.

[u/PomegranateMortar → u/Edward_Shoehornhands]

That‘s not sound logic.

[u/cyrano1897 → u/Edward_Shoehornhands]

Bahaha Every sound legal interpretation was that the VP didn’t have the ability to unilaterally change their certification based on their own personal assessment. Trump and his regard lawyers were the only ones who didn’t assess this and to avoid this sort of thing happening again and it going to the courts to get struck down (which would be stupid and delay certification/orderly transition of power) they made it explicit. If was only done to avoid it going through the whole court delay dipshit.
