The real issue is not whether or not it is legal and possible,

The real issue is what the stupid mfers believe.
These cult members not only believed that the Vice President could somehow change the outcome of an election, they acted on that belief.
On top of all of this, there's no real help from the MSM to inform the masses as to how our government actually work, being forthright and insisting factual information, not entertaining these dangerous ideas, ad nauseum, only to provide the facts at the end as a post script.
