evidence: On Tuesday, January 5, Trump tweeted that "The Vice President has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors." [...] A lawsuit brought by Representative Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and a number of would-be electors from Arizona against Pence also claimed that the vice president had the ability to choose which electoral votes count. According to USA Today, that lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge. [...] "Vice President Pence has no power whatsoever to send electoral slates back for recounting or 'correction' or to accept alternative slates or to do anything other than preside ceremonially over the joint session of Congress," Tribe said. "Any notion that he can change the result is sheer fantasy and has no basis in law or history."
