Republicans are scared when citizens vote.
The Electoral College is composed of 538 individual electors -- people from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, who represent the popular vote in each state. When a candidate wins a state, their designated slate of electors gets to participate in the Electoral College process.
This group of electors meets in the statehouse at a designated date in December. They sign certificates, officially casting their vote for president. This is a ceremonial process, and the outcome is essentially a foregone conclusion. (In very rare cases, an elector goes "faithless," by voting for someone other than the candidate who won the popular vote in their state.)
Trump allies tried to supplant President Joe Biden's authentic electors with fake Republican electors in seven key states, who could've theoretically thrown the entire election to Trump.
