\u201cThomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of Independence, the man whose face adorns Mt Rushmore, [...] only became President because he used his unilateral power as President of the Senate to open and count the presidential ballots in his own favor.\u201dhttps://t.co/k7l160VIsu

2/ Jefferson, as VP, presided over the joint session where electoral votes from the Election of 1800 were counted. Georgia's votes suffered from several technical procedural defects that were facially apparent.
3/ As presiding officer, Jefferson had the contestable votes counted w/o giving members of Congress a chance to object. This is allegedly a precedent for allowing Pence to unilaterally count whatever slates of electoral votes he wants. But the analogy fails for many reasons.
4/ For more details of the underlying facts, see an article specifically on this incident by David Fontana & Bruce Ackerman, "Thomas Jefferson Counts Himself into the Presidency,"
5/ First, the Jefferson precedent occurred decades before Congress enacted the Electoral Count Act ("ECA"), which regulates the process of counting electoral votes - including many aspects of the VP's role. Congress has limited the VP's discretion since the election of 1800.
