I think Pence could still be a patriot but the plan was to take the responsibility of rejecting the elector votes off him so he hasn't broken the law while the rest of congress who voted to accept are traitors, he might LOOK complicit enough to make the bad actors relax enough to commit more crimes b4 the 20th. Much less of the country would could ever look at a "Pence decided" administration as fair anyway.
