US Vice President Mike Pence has been remarkably silent even as his boss Donald Trump makes unsubstantiated claims that he was rigged out, and files dozens of suits claiming vote fraud.
Pence has not been seen since the early hours of Wednesday morning, and has not been with Trump during any of his addresses alleging vote fraud.
Pence has only tweeted twice in regard to the election, and has not directly suggested that there was vote rigging.
“I Stand With President @realDonaldTrump. We must count every LEGAL vote,” Mike Pence tweeted on Friday November 6th.

The Vice President appears to be the voice of reason in Trump’s White House, appearing to strike a moderate tone as much as possible.

In another tweet on Friday, Pence congratulated members of the Republican party who won in the November 3rd poll without mentioning anything like “Democrats stole the election” like what his boss is doing.
“Today, I spoke to over 20 @GOP members to Congratulate them on their Historic wins by huge margins across the Country including many women! Thanks to President
@realDonaldTrump, we have strong Conservatives fighting for the American people in Washington,” Pence tweeted.

Donald Trump’s two sons Don Jr and Eric Trump recently fired at Republican party members for failing to back their father’s outrageous claims that the election has been rigged.
Meanwhile source inside White House say Trump has spent the days since election night ensconced at the White House, angrily phoning allies and demanding that more people come out to defend him.
Trump has also complained that his legal team is ill-prepared to wage an effective battle in courts. At the same time, his legal team’s efforts have appeared somewhat slipshod.
Some in Trump’s campaign questioned the Trump team’s decision to dispatch the likes of Rudy Giuliani (Trump’s personal lawyer) and Trump’s sons to make unfounded allegations of voter fraud, arguing they likely diminished the President’s claims of wrongdoing.
