“Now, to be clear, Pence has no power to overturn the results despite Trump’s insistence on Twitter today,” Seth Meyers said during his latest segment “A Closer Look” on Tuesday. “No, he doesn’t,” he said Well into the night host added. “All Pence is supposed to do is count. Pence can’t change the results anymore than Vanna White can change the sentence on the board “.
“Although, apparently, even counting is difficult for Pence,” he continued, noting New York News a report citing someone close to the vice president who described his duties Wednesday as “heartbreaking, saying he should balance the president’s misconceptions about the government with his own years of preaching the Constitution.”

And now he has to choose between the Constitution and a rude mafia that makes illegal calls to election officials, demanding votes like telemarketing ”.
