    I have spent 20 years studying these little known figures, warning about the potential hijinks they could cause. Yet even I have been surprised by what has been uncovered in the wake of the 2020 election. It has become clear that then-President Donald Trump wanted then-Vice President Mike Pence to use extraconstitutional powers to manipulate the tabulation of electoral votes to secure a second term despite his defeat in the election.

    I have long been curious as to who actually participated in this plot, so I submitted a Freedom of Information Act request from National Archives. I received copies of slates of these phony electors from seven states -- Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

    Given the extraconstitutional nature of the scheme, I expected that most would be Trump partisans on the political fringe. Instead, most were elected party officials, political officeholders and other key figures in state Republican politics.
    The return addresses on the certificates included the Arizona Republican Party, the Georgia Republican Party, the Republican Party of New Mexico, the Nevada Republican Party. Michigan's came from Kathy Berden, who included the title, "Chair of the Michigan Republican Electoral College." Pennsylvania's was sent in by Bill Bachenberg, who referred to himself as the "Chairperson, Electoral College of Pennsylvania." Wisconsin's simply stated, "Chairperson of the Electoral College of Wisconsin." When asked by The Detroit News about why she chose to participate in this scheme, Berden said, "I can't comment on anything like that. That was a long time ago." CNN reached out to Bachenberg for comment, but has not received a response

    This, from your article, is terrifying:

    "Upon hearing Miller's remarks, I wrote that those votes amounted to "pretend votes" and would not be counted in Congress due to the existence of the Electoral Count Act of 1887 (ECA). The act came into existence nearly a decade after the disputed election of 1876 -- and was meant to provide a means to avoid constitutional crises where multiple elector slates from the same state are sent to be counted before Congress. Among other things, the ECA requires that if Congress receives two electoral slates, it should count the slate carrying the state's executive's signature as the rightful slate."

    So now all they need to do is get simpatico (R) governors installed, and those ppl can choose to certify the slate that gives the victory to the (R) candidate.

    So Republicans were right about massive attempts at election fraud, they just blamed the wrong party.

    The Republican Party members know that the Republican Party cheats in elections


    To get anywhere in the party you have to at least accept that your party members will be cheating in elections


    To get to the top of the party you have to be good at cheating



    It is a party designed around cheating to win


    It’s in its blood stream now


    It’s a party of drug addicts


    The drug is cheating



    They are a party addicted to cheating


    To them now cheating is wining


    That is why they will now DO ANYTHING

    THERE ARE NO MORALS ONCE YOU ARE ADDICTED



    you will do ANYTHING for the next win

    Anyone else willing to do the plan KNOW the law will be on their asses



    Time to strike

    Do you remember how under W, they convinced Republicans that the 9/11 attack happened under Clinton? It was really something to see.

    Correct.

    The attempted election fraud essentially failed.

    Biden was elected.
    ON HIS WORST DAY, JOE BIDEN IS A BETTER PRESIDENT THAN TRUMP WAS ON HIS BEST DAY!
