Prosecutions of Fake Electors for Trump Gain Ground in Swing States

[Amethyst]

 

Georgia, Michigan and Nevada have already brought charges against people who posed as electors for Donald Trump, and Arizona and Wisconsin have active investigations

 

The chairman of the Nevada Republican Party has been indicted. So has the former chairman of the Georgia G.O.P. In Michigan, a former co-chairwoman of the state party is facing charges.

 

As Donald J. Trump goes on trial in the New York criminal case, other investigations and prosecutions in five crucial swing states are continuing to scrutinize the steps that he and his allies took in trying to circumvent the will of voters after the 2020 election.

 

The investigations focus largely on the plan to deploy fake electors in states that Mr. Trump lost. Documents emerging from the state cases highlight divisions among Trump advisers after the 2020 election about whether to use hedging language in the phony certificates that they sent to Washington purporting to designate electoral votes for Mr. Trump. They also undercut claims by some Trump aides that they played little role in the fake-electors plan.

Fake electors vs Alternate electors!

 

There’s no such thing as fake electors,” Kern said. “If it was illegal, we wouldn’t have done it.

https://reason.com/2023/07/20/here-is-why-trumps-contingent-electors-say-they-did-nothing-illegal/

“I was an alternate elector in November 2020 for President Donald Trump,” he said.

“I was asked to step up along with other ordinary citizens and I chose to accept,” Kern continued. “I was honored and will always be honored to preserve the constitutional election challenges filed by both the Democrat and Republican parties since the 1960 presidential elections.”

Good 👍 just more lives ruined by believing in and supporting the destroyer of lives the republicans really do need to ditch the albatross take the hit and move on the majority of their base will still vote republican.

Not the brightest America has to offer.

 

Conspire to commit election interference.

Sign your name on forged documents used to commit election interference.

Submit the forged documents with your signature on them to the Federal Government.

 

If it were not such a serious threat to US Democracy it would be comedy gold.

Dems better be careful what they wish for.  Just about every candidate puts together a slate of alternate electors in states where the voting is close.  Gore had 'em.  Hillary had 'em.  Obama had 'em.

 

Start prosecuting alternate electors on the right and you can guaranty they'll start prosecuting them on the left.

A bit of a false equivalence.

 

There is only one official slate of electors.

 

Cobbling together an alternative after losing the election is not it.

Another well balanced article written by that top notch msm source that is recommended by the left as the go to source for balanced perspectives... right ROO... this is what happens when your starting point is so far left that you no longer know what is balanced.

So the fake electors are getting prosecuted and convicted for their crimes?

Again you show that you know nothing about the USA election machine... you call them "fake"... yet there is evidence that this is part and parcel to the "alternate" electors used by BOTH parties... let's talk about something that you actually know about... anything come to mind?

Its two tier justice .One for the dems and one for the Gop.

The dems have weaponized the fed Govt and State govt to go after

their opponents using lawfare!

 

 

Question ,Is the law governing alternate electors( fake electors is A made up term by the far left to deliberately manipulate the narrative) cut & dry?

If it was or is then why did the dems do this in 2022.

No it wasn’t illegal or fake , it wasn’t even clear!!

More election interference in these state lawfare proceedings.

Always amusing to see how trumpers rationalize and justify illegality. The former so-called "law and order Party" has morphed into the "And you thought Popes were infallible Party!", where anything their messiah does---from paying off porn stars while cheating on his latest wife to stealing classified documents and lying about it, to pressuring a State official to alter votes, to calling his goobers to DC on a day involving a simple pro forma certification of an election, to sending his goobers to attack the Capitol, to sitting on his bloated backside and doing nothing while watching a gallows erected on the Capitol grounds and his goobers chanting "Hang Mike Pence"---is kosher (to be somewhat ecumenical with Popes and kosher). Any illegality in the service of their messiah is okay.

 

In trumpistan, terrorists are "hostages and political prisoners" (you know, the ones who beat 140 cops, sh!t on the floor of the Capitol and rubbed the feces on the walls, smashed windows and doors, and tried to find the VP and SotH to do both severe harm), lies are 'alternative facts', truth isn't truth (Rudy), the 'best economy ever' isn't in the top 70%, and elections are "heads I win, tails you lose".

Seems you know nothing about the law.

 

Submitting fake signed election documents to the Federal Government is a Felony.

 

Election fraud is a felony.

 

Reality is real!

The problem isn't alternate electors. 

 

The criming part came when they signed documents claiming they were the duly elected electors. Which they weren't.

 

Of course, all presidential candidates have slates of potential electors, but they can't claim they are electors until and unless the election is certified. If their candidate isn't the certified winner, they can't claim they are certified electors.

 

Which is what these future felons did - in writing, sent to Washington DC.

The law is clear that no one is an electors until and unless their candidate is the certified winner in their state.

 

Claiming you are an elector when you aren't and sending that claim across state lines is a Federal crime. Or a state crime while the fraudulent documents are within the state.

Bernie Sanders never ran in a national presidential election with electors.

 

But your implication with "what about" is that you acknowledge the criminality of fake electors.

[thaibeachlovers]

Are the Dems just super slow when it comes to making political court cases, or are they so desperate that they'll clutch at any straw in hopes of it being the one to bring the Donald down.

 

What a pack of dozy numptys.

That has to be a classic, even for you.

He never ran because the Dems sabotaged him, knife in the back and all that, and who did they do it for, why that woman, who lost to Trump of all people. Any half decent candidate would likely have outvoted Trump two to one after his pussy tape fiasco. I was astonished that he won despite that. I underestimated how much US citizens loath Washington and the elites.

Massive Putin inteference for Trump's win. Still lose on popular votes. Then again he was booted out of office after one term when voters saw the incompetence and realized that Trump was the epitome of the Washington elite.

Bernie Sanders' loss in the Dem primaries in 2016 is not germane to this topic, which is about Donald Trump's illegal recruitment of fake electors.

It's not like they think much when they post, they just pass along whatever talking point shows up in their Inbox. That's why sometimes multiple Trump fans will post the same talking point the same day.
