Do you have a source for there even being more than one slate of electors for any state?

Nowhere does it say they were sent by the legislature. The only quote is from somebody from the state party.

I’d like to point out I’m 2 for 2. I called the Supreme Court ruling exactly too. You people need to listen to me! ;D

Here in Central Indiana a local radio host that has worked with Mike Pence and his people was asked what he thought Pence would do. Without hesitation, he said he was 110% certain that Mike Pence would do whatever was best for Mike Pence, and little else would matter. Therefore Pence would accept the electors and make Biden the President-elect. Not a doubt in his mind.

Guess he was right.

Does that not go along with what I wrote on the first page of this topic?

"I voted for option 1 because, at all costs, Pence wants to maintain presidential viability."

Last year I read a book on Pence. He is an overachiever. A relatively low ability but highly ambitious person. Will take on job / work that is unqualified to do for the sake of the power. Plus, in this case "Mother" is oftentimes the "power behind the throne". Or, at least his backbone, muse, guide, and ruthless pusher of him.

I don’t think Pence is a viable presidential candidate at all. He may or may not realize that.

Every VP says, "heck, I can do that job."

Not Harry Truman!!! He was initially scared to death when he was made president!
