Article 2 US Constitution
Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors
The basic gist of it is that mail in ballots have a procedure written by the state legislator, most important of which, the voter has to request one. The governors issued executive orders to send mail in ballots to EVERYONE. Pence just doesn't open those states which are contested. Fuck who ever cries about it.
So what has been the point of the lawsuits and evidence gathering if it is simply up to the President of the Senate? The President of the Senate is not the judge of elections. You'll see his power is to be a letter opener, an announcer, a maintainer of order and to make sure the parliamentary rules are followed. People are going to be sorely disappointed when this non granted power of election overseer judge and jury of ballots is not exercised.
See my reply above Patriot. You are basically right about the duties of the President of the Senate. It will be the House and the Senate that return both Trump and Pence tto the White House for 4 more years.
