Such things tend to happen when a state goes all-in for Dems for the first time in 40 years. First, they eliminate right to work laws and now this.

These people met in a basement and executed documents alleging that they were duly appointed electors under the laws of the State of Michigan, and sent those certifications to Congress.

The charges are political and stupid, but so was sending a certificate signed by fake electors to Congress without any authority to do so.

The same people pushing for criminal justice reform that benefits the human flotsam and jetsam of the country will be in here cheering these prosecutions.

The "false electors scheme" is a scheme that was devised to have a slate of electors meet to "certify" an alternate slate of electors from several states in the 2020 election - Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona - and have those "certifications" sent to Congress for consideration (in conjunction with the plan to have Mike Pence not certify the actual slate of electors from these states), assert that the electoral votes were disputed, and place those false electoral votes in place of the actual slate of electors.

Of course, it failed miserably, but there were underlying crimes that were committed in this scheme.

You'll probably see some indictments in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Arizona before all of this is over.

Of course it failed, because like everything else done to contest the 2020 result, it was a half-baked scheme that was handled poorly by grifters and terrible lawyers.

They apparently missed the *minor* detail that in order for their plan to work, the "alternate" slates of electors would have had to actually be certified by the respective States, not just written down by some guys on a piece of paper titled "Certification".

Alito ordered Pennsylvania to separate ballots. When the results of courts were unknown alternate electors was the wise thing to do.

We were in unprecedented times. Criminally charging alternate electors is the swamp being the swamp, protesting way too much if they truly won the 2020 election.

Stephen Miller: ‘Alternate’ electors will keep Trump election challenge alive

Will anyone be charging HRC for telling Biden in public to never under any circumstances concede the election?

Or How the HRC campaign team in 2016 threatened & tried to coerce & bribe the electors?

That, and the actual slate of electors certified by the respective states were connected directly to the results of the popular vote of the November 2020 election, and that Mike Pence would have had to 1) ignore the popular vote of the November 2020 election in these states, 2) decertify the will of the voters of these states confirmed through the actual slate of electors, and 3) ignore that the Constitution only provided Mike Pence (as President of the Senate) the authority to read into the record the list of electors certified by the several states.

No one has ever confused these people for thinking this harebrained arse scheme through, thoroughly.

Some states have alternate electors. Want to guess to situation of Michigan with this? It’s not what the AG pretends it is. Will not stand up in higher courts

Which ones?

I am not aware of any State that certified multiple slates of electors in 2020. That is the only way for there to be "alternate" electors.

In the mean time an 82 year old faces 80 years in prison.

Trump over 100 years in prison.

And Biden makes deals with our enemies and makes millions, has truly classified documents in Chinatown, his garage and Hurr is slow walking until Biden pardons himself, all the R's, all the D's involved, Obama's, Kerry's, Romney's, & his family.
