Real question. If the vice presidential duty is to ceremoniously sign off on delegate votes, how will that work if Kamala is the VP, but also on the ticket? I could see these MAGA nuts using that to drum up support for a stolen election, they tried it when Pence was VP, and he wasn’t an electee.

I don’t know the answer, but there is precident for this. Wikipedia tells me 4 sitting VPs have been elected, most recently Bush Sr. In 1988.
I’m sure the right-wing will spin this as a stolen election, like you said. It’s not like this is the first time it’s happened, though.
she still certifies the count. i never heard of the site, but it’s what i found https://www.verifythis.com/article/news/verify/elections-verify/yes-vp-kamala-harris-can-certify-the-election-results-even-if-shes-a-presidential-candidate/536-6eb8fc15-c36f-4ca9-87c3-376a2e16442a
