It's all a non-starter for me. Alternate electors just in case the fraud was found. Historically it's happened before with none of the screaming and crying by your side. Of course persecuting Democrats are going to use any Avenue they can out of fear for Trump. They will use anything for propaganda for the gullible.
LOL
No one cares about you. Not even your family. What matters is Smith has put together a case not even Trump can wiggle out of as long as he loses the election. A lot of Americans will vote against him just for that reason -- let him face justice rather than evade it.
And no, nothing like this has EVER happened before. There was one election in the 1800s where 3 states were in dispute but those states didn't certify either candidate. Instead, that election was decided by secret meetings where they agreed to give the Republican the electoral win in exchange for ending Reconstruction in the south. That election led to a major overhaul of federal election laws.
Then there was 1960, also nothing like 2020. Hawaii
certified the Republican the winner. But that was in dispute
in court. Democrats has signed an uncertified certificate of ascertainment, but unlike Trump's fake electors, did not send it to Congress. That changed. The Democrat prevailed in court. The state, not the electors, revoked certification of the Republican slate and the state
certified the Democratic slate. And unlike Trump's fake electors, the state sent the Democratic slate to Congress to be counted. Also unlike 2020, it was only one state being contested, with no impact on the election no matter which way that one state went.
Fast forward to 2020 where Trump
manufactured disputes in 7 states he lost in order to plant seeds of doubt in those states. ALL 7 states certified Biden the winner of their respective states. At that point, it was over. Or at least, should have been. All disputes were legally settled and the safe harbor date passed. So Trump conspired with his private attorneys and Republicans in those 7 states to sign
uncertified certificates of ascertainment AND Republicans, not their state, sent them to Washington to eliminate Biden's
certified slates in ALL 7 states
with the intent of flipping the election he lost. A few of Trump's slates included some kind of disclaimer about how they should only be counted if their state determined Trump won. Because of that language, Republican electors were not indicted. But most of the other slates did not include any form of a disclaimer. They merely,
falsely, declared Trump the winner of their state.
Those are fake electors. NEVER certified. NEVER recognized by their state to be counted by Congress. NEVER sent to Washington by their state. ALL indicted by their respective state, though I think 1 state dismissed the indictments on a technicality being appealed.
