Had Pence recognized that several of the battleground state-level legislatures asked for more time to adjudicate their elections and granted the requests it would have triggered claims of a constitutional crisis. And, it would have placed the Dems in the position of having to petition the courts for the first time.
If the courts granted the Biden campaign standing, which they did not for President Trump, then President Trump would have had a venue to introduce evidence. That evidence not only shows we elected him, but also that we elected a Senate and House majority.
It was never Pence’s task to unilaterally overturn the election. His one job was to put the Dems in the position of having to run to the courts.
