Answer: (do we have to do that here?) the fake electors would have replaced people in the electoral college. These are the people who actually elect a president. When you vote for president, you’re voting for someone in the electoral college who pledged to vote for that person.
But what if a state could override your vote and put in different people in the electoral college? That’s the fake elector plan. They said they were the real electors, when they were not.
Thanks. How would they ever get away with that? Aren’t electoral college members selected way in advance? I know they aren’t legally required to vote the way their constituents want, but if a state replaced one altogether with a stooge, wouldn’t their vote just not count?
To piggy back on this and the confusion, Ted Cruz, who already admitted on tape that there was no evidence of fraud, wanted to form a phony GOP commission, that along with the confusion of the fake electors and Jan 6 not going to certify, it would be up to this fake commission to declare trump still president.
They said
Who is they in this situation? Is it the fake electors themselves? The state governor? The state legislature?
Is the electoral college like an actual place in Washington where electors gather together and vote for president? Did a bunch of people just show up and say “Oh yeah, we are the electors from Michigan” and everyone just believed them? Is there no way to verify who is the official elector because this has never happened before? Or did this happen not in Washington but somewhere else?
A group of people in Michigan is the They in the recent story. Several other groups also did it in other states. Basically, they pretended that they were the electors and signed document designed to look like the official document in order to cause confusion for long enough to delay. It was a stall tactic.
Like what document? Who delivered it? To whom? Is there no authentication? When I go to the bank I have to enter the correct PIN before the machine spits out money. Was I doing elections wrong all this time? Was all I had to do to vote for president was to write “I am official elector from Michigan and I am voting for Trump” on a piece of paper with “State of Michigan” logo on top and send it by mail addressed to “Electoral College, Washington DC”?
Lol I guess I should have specified I’m referring to the Trump 2020 scheme that’s in the news today
