'Alternate' Trump electors can face civil lawsuit in Wisconsin, judge rules

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.

Your lame attempt at reverse psychology suggests a few things about you.

He won by 98 percent of the vote. Majority of the republicans voted for him if not all.

My point and challenge to you is to tell the whole story.

There are too many that read your statement and think woe is me, it is all over, there is nothing I can do.

The interesting thing is that questions are offending you you, rather than a challenge to think.

It IS all over. If they're pulling this stuff, they're going to steal 2024 harder than they stole 2020. IN OUR FACE.

They know now that their Media Narrative engineers can manufacture whatever they need to, to shout down anyone questioning the fake "election". Shout them down or bankrupt them with lawfare.

There is stuff that you can do - but on a personal level.
