A group of President Donald Trump’s allies and associates spent months trying to overturn the 2020 election based on his lie that he was the true winner.
Now, some of the same confidants who tried and failed to invalidate the results based on a set of bogus legal theories are pushing an even wilder sequel: that by “decertifying” the 2020 vote in key states, the outcome can still be reversed.
In statehouses and courtrooms across the country, as well as on right-wing news outlets, allies of Trump — including lawyer John Eastman — are pressing for states to pass resolutions rescinding Electoral College votes for President Joe Biden and to bring lawsuits that seek to prove baseless claims of large-scale voter fraud. Some of those allies are casting their work as a precursor to reinstating the former president.
The efforts have failed to change any statewide outcomes or uncover mass election fraud. Legal experts dismiss them as preposterous, noting that there is no plausible scenario under the Constitution for returning Trump to office.
But just as Eastman’s original plan to use Congress’ final count of electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021, to overturn the election was seen as far-fetched in the run-up to the deadly Capitol riot, the continued efforts are fueling a false narrative that has resonated with Trump’s supporters and stoked their grievances. They are keeping alive the same combustible stew of conspiracy theory and misinformation that threatens to undermine faith in democracy by nurturing the lie that the election was corrupt.

Hmmm, I wonder why The New York Slimes is writing about this now? Mainstream media have conveniently avoided any mention of this topic.
It’s the NY Times, so every word, including “and” and “the” are lies.
If a state was fraudulently decided, it is JUSTICE to discover that.
Damn, can’t even get past the first sentence.
This cannot be done without the armed forces.
The only time the MSM writes about allegations of election fraud it is done to dismiss “Trump supporters” or any person who questions what happened in the election as a kooky conspiracy MAGA hat wearing nutjob.
I suspect articles like this might become more frequent to reassure those who believe everything was kosher in the face of the movies about the election and fraud as well as actions by state legislators to tighten up election security and analyze what happened.
There are a lot of people who have no clue about the questionable things that happened in the election or how and where the money from Zuckerberg was dumped.
More lies by the Slimes. They lie about everything.
How is this for unbiased reporting? /s
The truth corrodes the Left.
Good. Because if only legal votes are counted, Trump won.
So you know it's a lie.
Yep..and Trump..using a coded language that only white supremacy,and progressive journalist, can interpret ..orchestrating a indirection.
Meanwhile, the Biden gang made millions influence peddling to the chicoms and the like

It was a bogus election beyond a reasonable doubt with copious evidence.
God bless them. They’re doing the right thing. Only the Delusional Lying Left and their RINO buddies want to sweep it under the rug. And since they hate America and your freedoms and you, they’d love to sweep you under the rug as well.
Remember, what you see them do to Trump is exactly what they want to do to you, your freedoms, and your free way of life if they had the chance.
Trump won but the Electoral College vote was certified for Brandon and it cannot be undone.
No signature verification, same day registration, ballot harvesting, mail in voting, and Smart vote counting. You could not create a voting system more prone to fraud.
I can't get past "NYT".
Stopped reading this lying, leftist tripe right there.....
