all of this was worse than I even thought. We were a fucking *letter* away from cover for Pence to declare a 10-day "review" of the electors, and Trump was talking about seizing voting machines.
He fucking wrote an op-ed in March 2021 saying the 2020 election was "marked by significant voting irregularities and numerous instances of officials setting aside state election law."
He just didn't have enough cover to do Trump's bidding.
