Hm, that is interesting wording. Did Pence pass the hot potato to the parliamentarian? What happens if the parliamentarian knowingly deceives the senate? Holy shit. Did he just out fox the traitors? I can't believe it just yet. That would be too good to be true.

(Edit) I am basing my speculation in part on the fact that the constitution states that only state legislators are the legal election authorities. So if a parliamentarian claims only one set of electors, but the state legislator disagrees.... I don't know what it means, but it may mean that there is supreme court challenge in the works.
