The electoral college certification of Biden was stopped today, so if there really is a plan, the only move now is to arrest Pence. He was exposed as a traitor to the public, and the only way forward for Trump is to remove him. First arrest?

It states he must be present in order to count the votes. This literally says he is the authority over it and implies he can choose to not be present or not count the votes.
"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."
Hard to count votes when they don't exist within the certificates are just fraudulent pieces of paper.
I understand your thought process but I don't think the wording makes it so clear that Pence cannot declare these as not being votes. Could the states certify a chicken and send it in a certificate calling it a vote and Pence would therefore have no option but to count it as a vote?
