Trump's fake electors: Here's the full list

The 84 people who signed bogus documents claiming that Donald Trump won the 2020 election include dozens of local Republican Party leaders, seven current candidates for public office, eight current office holders and at least five previous state and federal office holders.

Groups from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin all allegedly sent lists of so-called alternate electors to the National Archives after the 2020 election. The slate of fake electors includes Lou Barletta and Charlie Gerow, both candidates for governor in Pennsylvania; Burt Jones, a candidate for lieutenant governor in Georgia; James Lamon, a candidate for U.S. Senate from Arizona; and candidates for state legislative seats.

The group also includes eight current officeholders:

Jake Hoffman, an Arizona state representative.
Burt Jones, a Georgia state senator.
Stanley Grot, the Shelby Township clerk in Michigan.
Amy Facchinello, a member of the school board in Grand Blanc, Michigan.
Robert Spindell Jr., a member of the Wisconsin Election Commission.
Sam DeMarco III, an at-large member of the Allegheny County Council in Pennsylvania.
Josephine Ferro, the Monroe County Register of Wills in Pennsylvania.
Kelly Ruh, an alderperson for De Pere, Wisconsin.

In addition to the chair, former chair or co-chair of the state Republican Party in all seven states, the group includes people for whom political controversy and investigations are nothing new:

Michael Ward of Arizona has been accused of spitting in the eye of a former campaign volunteer for his wife, Kelli Ward.
Tom Carroll of Pennsylvania was accused by a Black colleague of leaving a stuffed monkey on her desk in a racist act, while he was serving as an assistant district attorney.
Gloria Kay Godwin of Georgia has been accused of stalking after allegedly attempting to interfere in a citizen effort to obtain signatures for a recall election petition.
The Justice Department has announced that it is investigating the attempt by the false electors to subvert the election.
