Former Vice President Michael R. Pence opened up about his former relationship with ex-President Donald Trump, who continues to fault him for not overturning the electoral count.
Some Republicans had believed the 1960 Presidential Election in Hawaii represented a precedent for submitting a second slate of electors from states where advocates believed there were errors afoot. That year, then-Republican majority Hawaii saw Republicans approve a slate and Democrats approve an uncertified slate of electors for Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy respectively.
Critics further analyzed the Electoral Count Act of 1887, which itself came following Republican President Rutherford Hayes' disputed election win against former New York Democratic Gov. Samuel Tilden. "I knew what my duty was under the Constitution of the United States. I made that clear many times over to the president. But he had legal advisers around him that were telling him something different. And we ended up having to have a disagreement, a very loud disagreement in public."
