“The “fake electors” were part of the normal process if the vote count of a state is contested. In reality they’re called “alternate electors””
That’s what happened in Hawaii. That’s what happened with the Pennsylvania electors in 2020 which is why they aren’t being prosecuted.
What happened with AZ is that they had lost the legal case, it wasn’t legally contested, but they still knowingly and falsely claimed they were the duly elected electors. They did it as part of a plan to present multiple slates to Pence, who would either discard AZ votes, or delay the count and send it back to the AZ legislature.
It was a ill conceived, poorly run con job. If they had competent lawyers, they could have run the scam and at least covered themselves legally (not that they should have tried the scam).
They were morons and unfortunately are getting what they deserve.
Eastman, Chesebro, and probably some others I’ve forgotten right now were considered some of the best Constitutional lawyers in the nation. Now, they’re being disbarred and Chesebro is a prosecution witness against everyone involved.
“What happened with AZ is that they had lost the legal case, it wasn’t legally contested, but they still knowingly and falsely claimed they were the duly elected electors.”
I don’t understand how so many regular posters here haven’t gotten this. Hawaii and these recent cases are NOT the same.
The election in Arizona is clearly fraudulent, and none of the people in power there right now should have been allowed to take those offices.
The evidence is overwhelming that Maricopa county elections are fraudulent. When Trump becomes president, the Justice Department needs to investigate all these current officials and send them to prison for their crimes.
Of course if these corrupt bastards are in power, Trump won't win Arizona. Maybe there will be a riot and violence will solve the Arizona corrupt elections problem.
