'One of the people charged with acting as a fake elector for former president Donald Trump in Michigan has said she was "duped."

Michigan's attorney general Dana Nessel announced felony charges against 16 Republicans "for their role in the alleged false electors scheme" last week, accusing them of submitting false certificates that portrayed them as legitimate electors in the 2020 election which saw Joe Biden win the presidency.

Nessel, a Democrat, said all 16 people would face eight criminal charges, including forgery, conspiracy to commit election law forgery, and uttering and publishing. The top charges carry a maximum penalty of 14 years in prison.

It marks the first time anyone has been charged in a fake electors scheme to try to overturn the results of the 2020 election. The scheme allegedly took place in several states as part of efforts to keep Trump in power after his loss in 2020.'


All Republicans.

GOP – the party of corruption and criminality.

There is a well-established precedent in law for alternate elector slates being submitted. The fact that your fascists in DC are trying to convince idiots like yourself that it's illegal does nothing to change that. The ONLY way those charged in this scam can lose is if they plead out instead of waiting on the appellate rulings to clear them. IT IS NOT ILLEGAL, dim wit...

It was the party of corruption and criminality between Nov 2020 and Jan 6 2021, as they acted like the regular rules just didn't apply.

Sounds like she is trying to scapegoat Trump for her bad choices.

This weaponization of the judicial system by the Democrat to prosecute political actions as criminal is frightening.

Poor guy it must hurt you to be so fucking stupid
 
And yet given all this corruption and criminality by Republicans in an effort to destroy America’s democracy, millions of conservatives will vote for Trump in the primaries next year.

It’s unmitigated rightwing madness.

Thank you. Yes alternate elector is the correct term, not FAKE elector, despite Democrats trying to control everything people think and say.
 
Fourteen years is about right for trying to pervent the lawful transition of government.

You think think this is rough: watch what the Israelis do to Netanyahu.

I don't think they are crazy. They are done with democracy, have no more use for it because the majority rejects white Christian Nationalism aka Christofascism

Who "duped" those idiots?

The question is whether there was forgery going on or not...

And, it appears...'unbrightness' too. Meaning dumb.
This lady who said she was 'duped' is about 70yrs old, I think.
She also said that these 'electors' just signed a "blank piece of paper" because the Trump campaign asked 'em to.
Which, it has been said, is a tell...on being dumb.

Well, the devil is in the details.
The law requires that the governor sign the submitted elector certificates.
The law says the certificates must be signed in the Capitol building.

Neither took place.
They broke the law and knew they were breaking the law. So much so that they even discussed hiding out in the Capitol the night before just to claim that they met the requirement. This was done with forethought, and knowledge of illegalities. They went ahead and did it anyway. And now, the piper awaits pay.

Well, Sam, there were bad choices aplenty. But remember, these 16 folks were Michigan Republican leadership or activists. They had been asked to come to the basement of the GOP headquarters and sign these 'elector' documents.

  • "Michigan Republican Party Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock said that the Trump presidential campaign directed Republicans in Michigan to seat fake GOP Electoral College delegates.... "The Trump campaign asked us to do that."
  • "As documents from the office of state Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) note, they not only falsely declared duly elected status, but they also falsely claimed they had “convened and organized in the State Capitol” — the location where such proceedings must legally be held — despite meeting at state GOP headquarters instead."

Well, you are trying too hard Yarddog.
But, I'll give you grace and let your "alternate elector" compete with my "criminal elector".

They falsely claimed...illegally claimed.....Don Trump won and then signed that that was so and then submitted those documents to Mike Pence, and the National Archives. They lied.
That was illegal.....not an 'alternative' truth.

They also lied as to where they signed the documents. They knew where they should be signed. The law is explicit. They weren't there. And then lied about it.
Lying under such circumstances ....about official proceedings of our electoral processes.....is a crime.

And a piper will be paid for this jackassery by Michigan's GOP leadership, and maybe, just maybe....so will some members of the Trump campaign. This cake is still baking.
 
Thank you. Yes alternate elector is the correct term, not FAKE elector, despite Democrats trying to control everything people think and say.
FAKE elector is the correct term for an elector falsely affirming their standing.
