Nixon and Kennedy both had slates of electors. Originally Nixon was declared the winner but after a recount Kennedy was declared the winner. No “fake elector” charges were brought. All the reporting on this focuses on whether the recount was finished or not, whether it happened under a full moon, etc. to say the Hawaii situation was “different”.
still can’t find “fake” as one of the definitions of “Alternate”.
How about: “Betsy Woodruff Swan and Kyle Cheney are unrepentant liars.”?
?fake news on fake electors?
Where is the Supreme Court? The world wonders….
How many times does this story use the words “fake” and “scheme” instead of “alternate” and “plan”?
Here’s the writer, just fyi. A conservative raising and she started riding a libtard. Now she’s a libtard and started writing for lib rags. And when stress started writing as at national review in 2012 as a William F Buckley intern… she was 22. Pays to know. You think you are reading important news from a professional. But it’s often a just an idiot girl fresh out of college.
“Swan was born in Columbia, Missouri. She graduated with a BA in English from Hillsdale College in 2012.[3]
Swan started her career as a reporter and William F. Buckley Fellow at National Review.[4] Amid a wider staff exodus from National Review in 2014, Swan moved after two years to the Washington Examiner to become a political writer covering Capitol Hill and electoral politics.[5] Swan joined the news magazine Slate as a national political reporter in late 2014.[6][unreliable source?][7] She then became a national political reporter for The Daily Beast in March 2015, covering federal law enforcement.[8][9] Swan has appeared on Fox News and CNN and is a contributor to MSNBC.[10][11] On March 4, 2020, Swan announced she would be leaving The Daily Beast and had been hired at Politico.[1]
Swan married Axios reporter Jonathan Swan on September 14, 2019.[12] They have one child.[13]”
If alternate electors claimed via the documents they signed and sent to Washington that they were the duly authorized electors for the state then they were in the wrong and they will get thumped.
Note that the attorney for Cheseboro claims that alternate electors in states like Arizona went beyond what was recommended when they claimed they were the duly certified electors for the state.
I don’t understand the alleged crime. Was there any intent to defraud? Any real possibility that the alternates could have been chosen when they were not legally entitled to be chosen? Or were the alternates just inartfully saying something like, “choose us if the other slate is properly found ineligible due to election fraud”?
Tells you which states have been fully captured by the democrat party Commies.
I still do not understand what crime or crimes these so-called “fake electors” are alleged to have committed.
Every losing Presidential candidate will have appointed Elector-candidates who would, had he won, have received certificates of ascertainment and who then would have voted on December 14, 2020 in their State capitals for their candidate.
So, between November 8 and December 14, there certainly were would-be Trump Electors in every State that Biden won, waiting for instructions from their State Legislatures.
What did these people actually DO? Did they forge certificates of ascertainment and send fake electoral votes to the President of the Senate?
Uttering an opinion that they were rightfully appointed Electors certainly wouldn’t be a crime, right?
