Falsified documents claiming Michigan’s electors voted for former President Donald Trump were given by state election officials to a congressional panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 riot.
Sixteen Republicans, including the current co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, signed certificates asserting they were Michigan’s presidential electors and sent the illegitimate documents to the National Archive. The unofficial documents were part of a failed Republican strategy to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory in battleground states, which is under new scrutiny from a U.S. House panel and the Michigan Attorney General’s office.
Each political party nominates its own slate of electors, but only electors representing the candidate who wins the popular vote can participate in the Electoral College. President Joe Biden won the election in Michigan by 154,000 votes and Michigan’s 16 Electoral College votes were officially recorded for Biden on Dec. 14, 2021, in accordance with state law.
On the same day, Republican nominees gathered at the Michigan Republican Party headquarters in Lansing to sign the unofficial documents. The documents also falsely claimed Republican nominees signed the certificates in the Michigan Capitol.
A group of Republican lawmakers tried to escort their nominees into the state Capitol to deliver the documents. They were denied entry by the Michigan State Police.
Three days earlier, the U.S. Supreme Court dismissed a lawsuit backed by 15 state lawmakers and 4 members of Congress seeking to invalidate Michigan’s election results.
A dozen Republicans also signed a separate legal brief arguing Michigan’s electoral votes should not be counted until the state Legislature certifies the results. Michigan’s Board of State Canvassers had already certified the election results as required by the state Constitution.

The eGOP in Colorado is no better. They actively rejected electors that would vote for Trump.
Yep...they will be made examples of, just like all the poor souls locked away forever in Washington DC.
The politburo needs its show trials or they don’t have any authority and cannot instill fear.
“Nothing will happen...”
We should be so lucky. More likely, the AG will go after them, they will be arrested, and never heard from again à la the poor January 6 people imprisoned in DC.
Apparently the Michigan AG has asked the Feds to investigate.
The documents were not falsified, and President Trump did win. The election was stolen, and they intend to destroy anyone who tried to stop it.
