I feel like this is a part of the show. Trump even tweeted that it will be harder for pence to do the "right" thing. If Pence had overturned election results there would have been manufactured and real riots all over the place. Pence certifiing was the right move but I'm sure terrible for him personally.
Respectfully disagree, pede. Pence could have sent it back to the state legislatures in those contentious states to determine. Because of his decision to move forward with the vote, the masses at the Capitol were all upset and created ensuing turmoil. All the deplorables would have been happy with him punting it back to the states. If any Antifa rabble rousers still wanted to riot they would have been exposed. Possibly, Ashli’s life would have been spared. We will never know. Constitutional lawyer/professor John Eastman said Pence had the authority to send it back to the states.
Legal authority has very little to do with politics. I do understand where you are coming from and I've thought the same exact things. I'm just leaning towards this side for now. We can never really know but I do enjoy speculating for fun.

Certainly a possibility. We may never know I suspect.
If Trump brings him back, then we’ll probably have our answer
True.
