WASHINGTON - Vice President Mike Pence asked a judge late Thursday to reject a lawsuit that aims to expand his power to use a congressional ceremony to overturn the presidential election, arguing that he is not the right person to sue over the issue.
The filing will come as a disappointment to supporters of President Donald Trump, who hoped that Pence would attempt to reject some of President-elect Joe Biden s electoral college votes and recognize votes for Trump instead when Congress meets next week to certify the November election.
