Ten so-called "alternate electors" for former President Donald Trump and two of the former president's attorneys are facing a civil lawsuit in Wisconsin after a judge rejected a motion to dismiss the case.
Two Democratic electors and a voter filed the case seeking $2.4 million from the two attorneys and the alternate GOP electors, arguing that the defendants were part of a pro-Trump conspiracy to overturn his 2020 presidential loss and seeking to disqualify the Republicans from serving as electors again.
Dane County Circuit Judge Frank Remington scheduled the case for a jury trial in September 2024, just two months before the presidential election in which Trump may be the Republican nominee, The Associated Press reported last week.
Federal prosecutors alleged in an indictment against Trump earlier this month that the former president and his supporters started a scheme in Wisconsin to tap fake electors who could vote for Trump in the electoral college in states where the popular vote went for now-President Joe Biden.
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, a Democrat, said he is relying on federal officials to probe what happened in his state, but he is not ruling out a state investigation.

weaponization of the court system which has been filled up with obama judges and fake republican neoCON deep state scum judges.
Dane County is the Berkeley of the Midwest.
The Electoral College is a representative body.
There were two slates of “representatives” up for election in November of 2020.
One was “chosen” and allowed to vote for President.
The other wasn’t. They are not “fake” or “alternate” electors.
They are the other slate.
Just as in ANY election, there is ANOTHER candidate, not a “fake” or “alternate” candidate.
The Pubbies had better start playing smashmouth over this kind of thing, or they’re done as a national party.
This is like the mob—they are not happy just rigging the poker game—they want to break a few legs afterwards if anyone dares complain about it.
Dane County Circuit Judge Frank Remington is little more than a divorce court judge. How a hack gets a case like this is mystifying, unless you know that the Democrats never enter a courtroom without judge shopping.
Alternate electors are a fully legal construct. They aren’t to be used until called.
This is crazy, and should be thrown out.
I still do not understand who the “alternate electors” are.
Are they the individuals appointed by the GOP who WOULD HAVE cast ballots on December 14 IF Trump had been declared the winner by the various State authorities?
Or are they randos who go around announcing that THEY are the actual Electors appointed by Wisconsin, etc?
What makes these Republicans "fake"?
As far as I can tell, they are a perfect representation of what the GOP really is.
You are starting to “get it” now. A guy named George wrote a book about “it” a while ago.
There is no reason to put quotes around alternate.
There's no crime.
No republican has standing to challenge a stolen election, but every democrats has standing to challenge the challenge???
We are living in an occupied territory.

The entire issue of Democrat Lawfare should have and could have been put to rest if the RNC had fought back when the Dems unleashed their lawfare operation against Palin in 2008-12 when they besieged her with scores of frivolous lawsuits that drove her to the point of bankruptcy which lead her to resign as governor. When she pleaded for help from the RNC they turned their back on her. At that point the Media-Dem Party could smell blood in the water and that the RNC would NEVER lift a finger against their relentless lawfare operation. The RNC never took any action against the media for their sidekick role in the operation either, they just continued to try and suck up to them.
