Indeed. It looks more promising than 'may' These people (repub politicians) are so dirty. Republicans could have not picked a worse person ever to lead them, and now he is leading them to war. Just look at what they write! They no longer have a desire to get along with their neighbors.

Wis. Democrats file first-of-its-kind suit vs. fake Trump electors

Three Democratic voters in Wisconsin, including two who served as electors for President Biden in 2020, filed suit Tuesday against 10 supporters of Donald Trump in the state, arguing the group engaged in a civil conspiracy to violate state and federal law when they declared themselves presidential electors in 2020 even though Biden won the state’s popular vote.

Wisconsin was one of five states won by Biden where Republican electors gathered Dec. 14, 2020, and declared themselves “duly elected and qualified” — then sent signed certificates to Washington purporting to affirm Trump as the actual victor of their states. [The two other states sent notes making it clear the new electors were only qualified if the vote was officially overturned in some fashion.]

The lawsuit filed in Wisconsin’s Dane County represents a new approach to seeking to hold fake Trump electors accountable. It asks that a judge formally declare that the Trump supporters’ actions were unlawful — that they took actions that constituted a “public nuisance” under Wisconsin law, engaging in a conspiracy that violated the rights of Biden electors and voters.

It also asks that the judge require the Trump supporters to take the unusual step of correcting the historical record by sending a judicial order declaring their actions unlawful to the same government entities to which they sent certificates in 2020, including the president of the U.S. Senate and the National Archives. It also asks a judge to prohibit the defendants from ever serving as presidential electors again and require that they pay monetary damages.

Rudy Giuliani may turn out to be the guy that rammed the USS Trump into the Fake Elector Certificate iceberg.

In all fairness, the ship was already sinking, on fire, overrun with rats, and stricken with scurvy. The iceberg was doing it a favor.

Trump campaign officials, led by Rudy Giuliani, oversaw fake electors plot in 7 states - CNNPolitics

Trump campaign officials, led by Rudy Giuliani, oversaw efforts in December 2020 to put forward illegitimate electors from seven states that Trump lost, according to three sources with direct knowledge of the scheme.

The sources said members of former President Donald Trump's campaign team were far more involved than previously known in the plan, a core tenet of the broader plot to overturn President Joe Biden's victory when Congress counted the electoral votes on January 6.

Giuliani and his allies coordinated the nuts-and-bolts of the process on a state-by-state level, the sources told CNN. One source said there were multiple planning calls between Trump campaign officials and GOP state operatives, and that Giuliani participated in at least one call. The source also said the Trump campaign lined up supporters to fill elector slots, secured meeting rooms in statehouses for the fake electors to meet on December 14, 2020, and circulated drafts of fake certificates that were ultimately sent to the National Archives.

"We fought to seat the electors. The Trump campaign asked us to do that," Meshawn Maddock, co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, said at a public event last week that was organized by the conservative group Stand Up Michigan, according to a recording obtained by CNN.

Has there ever been a shortage of false witnesses?

But Giuliani... never trusted that guy... did Trump ever trust him?

"Giuliani’s first wife, Regina, agreed. She told Giuliani biographer Wayne Barrett that when she and Rudy separated in 1980, she “still considered him to be a liberal Democrat.” She also observed that "(Rudy) generally won’t do things unless he believes them, ... but he’s not a saint, and he will do things that serve his interests.”"

I'm not really aware of the supply and demand statistics, but I certainly don't know of any false electors until these Trump false electors.

Euphoria and Zanadu were allies with Kronos during the last intergalactic war. Near the end of that war, Kronos blew up the peaceful planet of the Tribbles. At the war-crimes tribunal, would Euphoria or Zanadu, as allies of Kronos, be held guilty of the crimes of Kronos?

Fake Trump electors in Ga. told to shroud plans in ‘secrecy,’ email shows
The message informed those involved in the plan that they were not allowed to disclose their intentions, even to State Capitol security

“I must ask for your complete discretion in this process,” wrote Robert Sinners, the campaign’s election operations director for Georgia, the day before the 16 Republicans gathered at the Georgia Capitol to sign certificates declaring themselves duly elected. “Your duties are imperative to ensure the end result — a win in Georgia for President Trump — but will be hampered unless we have complete secrecy and discretion.”

The admonishments suggest that those who carried out the fake elector plan were concerned that, had the gathering become public before Republicans could follow through on casting their votes, the effort could have been disrupted. Georgia law requires that electors fulfill their duties at the State Capitol.

In a statement, Sinners said he was working at the direction of senior campaign officials and Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer, who served as a Trump elector in the state. “I was advised by attorneys that this was necessary in order to preserve the pending legal challenge,” he said.

Exclusive: Fulton County DA sends 'target' letters to Trump allies in Georgia investigation
In the latest sign that she is moving rapidly in her investigation into Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis has sent so-called target letters to prominent Georgia Republicans informing them they could be indicted for their role in a scheme to appoint alternate electors pledged to the former president despite Joe Biden’s victory in the state, according to legal sources familiar with the matter.

Prosecutors appear to be focusing on the secrecy of the meeting as evidence of consciousness of guilt on the part of the Trump electors.

At least 11 of the 16 fake electors in GA have been targetted, and their lawyer has responded by saying 'Fifth'.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/07/26/trump-fake-electors-arizona/

A New York Times report details a batch of new emails related to the fake-elector plot. Figuring prominently is a Phoenix-based lawyer who worked with the Trump campaign, Jack Wilenchik.

“We would just be sending in ‘fake’ electoral votes to Pence so that ‘someone’ in Congress can make an objection when they start counting votes, and start arguing that the ‘fake’ votes should be counted,” Wilenchik wrote to Epshteyn. He summarized a proposal by Trump-allied lawyer Kenneth Chesebro as designating the fake electors “so that members of Congress can fight about whether they should be counted on January 6th.”

Wilenchik said in another Dec. 8 email that Ward wanted “to keep it under wraps until Congress counts the vote Jan. 6th (so we can try to ‘surprise’ the Dems and media with it) — I tend to agree with her.”


It’s also very difficult to square with the fake-elector plot being characterized as merely a contingency.


Fake surprise electors!

Good think conspiracy to defraud the United States isn't a crime or anything...
