For people worried that Pence might throw sand into the EC vote gears...

...even if he does inexplicably find a way to sabotage Biden, Trump's term still ends on Inauguration Day. If there's no president-elect -- President Pelosi.

1. Yup. It's all a bluff

[Freddie]

2. I thought his vote (or whatever) was just a formality

[MineralMan]

3. Pence would have no vote, even in a tie, since

he is one of the candidates in that election. His job is really just ceremonial during the electoral college vote tally. He won't do a thing to spoil it. He can't, really.

6. Point being, even in Trump's La-la-land, it still doesn't work.

4. Wouldn't Pelosi have to be voted as Speaker in the new congress?

I’m assuming she will

[mopinko]

7. no. this is before the change of congress.

[Fiendish Thingy]

9. No it's not- new congress is worn in on Jan 3, EV's confirmed on Jan 6. Pelosi will be speaker then.

[mopinko]

10. oh, my bad. i kept going back and forth in my head. thx.

[Mike Nelson]

5. Well...

... if Pence doesn't want to do his job, that's fine. His repulsive adoration for Loser Donald is sickening. A designee should be found, instead of Loser Pence.

8. You cannot tell me that this was not intentional and malicious,

11. Why is he whining?

He is not wore than Gore, who should have won
