They signed their names to them.
Who advised them to do that?
Did they know it was illegal?
It is now reported that it happened in seven states!
This part of the coup was well-planned and coordinated.
Is there any Republican that wasn't involved in this conspiracy?

(21,859 posts)forged documents, tried to steal the votes of 10s of millions of us in order to vote the way they wanted the voting to go. No mercy, no holding back the punches, this is definitely a crime of the highest order.

(5,507 posts)That this was fully integrated into the overall coup attempt.
The Eastment memo outlined the strategy and it is all predicated on secondary electors. https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/politics/a37677592/trump-lawyer-memo-mike-pence-overturn-electoral-college/
The memo starts with the line 7 states have transmitted dual slates of electors to the President of the Senate.
Step 3 of the memo At the end, he announces that because of the ongoing disputes in the 7 States, there are no electors that can be deemed validly appointed in those States.
There are at this point 232 votes for Trump, 222 votes for Biden. Pence then gavels President Trump as re-elected.
After expected protests, Step 4
Pursuant to the 12th Amendment, no candidate has achieved the necessary majority. That sends the matter to the House, where the the votes shall be taken by states, the representation from each state having one vote . . . . Republicans currently control 26 of the state delegations, the bare majority needed to win that vote. President Trump is re-elected there as well.
I think this is important to note because it certainly appears to be more than just a bunch of yahoos playing wishful thinking. They were laying the groundwork as part of an overall coordinated effort.
I would think that there have to be coordinating communications connecting all these people to the overall plan

(93,858 posts)They may get indicted, but this crackpot activity was reported months ago and the fake certificates were ignored by the Archivist.

(12,286 posts)It SHOULD be an earth shattering scandal and result in instant indictments.
But in reality it is a big nothing because we no longer live in a country with the rule of law.
That Donald J Trump is still walking around instigating an ongoing coup is evidence enough of that.
Nothing will happen and the news media will not care.
maxsolomon
(32,990 posts)it was reported when they did it back in december 2020.
it really is unprecedented; no one has thought to do it previously. i'm not sure State AGs know how to approach it.
