Trump Rips Rewrite of Electoral Count Act, Pence’s Claim There Was Nothing He Could Do

Former President Donald Trump tore into the narrative of Democrats and some Republicans that former Vice President Mike Pence had no choice when it came to certifying the electoral votes for the 2020 presidential election.

”Mike Pence told me, and everybody else, there was nothing he could do about the Electoral Vote Count — it was etched in stone,” Trump said in a statement on Thursday. ”But if so, how come the Democrats and RINOs are working so hard to make sure there is nothing a VP can do?”

According to Just the News, a bipartisan group of senators is working on rewriting the Electoral Count Reform Act that would further restrict state electors and ensure that a sitting vice president cannot alter or reject election results.

The former president and some of his allies have been accused of attempting to set up “alternate electors” to vote for him and later trying to have then-Vice President Pence not certify the election.

”This was a major event, because everybody ganged up and said that Mike had no choice, he could not send the slates back to the States (which is all I suggested he do) for possible retabulation and correction based on largescale Voter Fraud and Irregularities,” Trump continued.

In remarks delivered last month at the Faith and Freedom Coalition in Nashville, Tennessee, Trump continued to criticize Pence for rejecting the former president’s requests that he refuse to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election.

He called Pence a ”human conveyor belt” for stating that he was constitutionally required to oversee the certification and could not reject electoral votes because of Trump’s claims of voter fraud.
