Pence isn't going to do it, because even he still follows the rule of law, no matter what kind of chump pole he's been smoking up until now. The chump is on his way out, and the people who used to kiss his ass are now looking out for themselves. It's a crying shame about how stupid and accepting the US population is with their elected officials, though.
I don't think Pence will do that, but if he did, that would be the end of the United States of America. The people on this board seem to think this isn't a big deal, but it is.
If Pence declared Trump the winner, it would be overturned by the Supreme Court, but the Republican Party would be forced to play along, and the supporters would go to war to make the lie true.
This is what coddling a narcissistic criminal results in -- a moment where democracy could die with single action. He should've been removed via the 25th in his first few months.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
