Answer: (do we have to do that here?) the fake electors would have replaced people in the electoral college. These are the people who actually elect a president. When you vote for president, you’re voting for someone in the electoral college who pledged to vote for that person.
But what if a state could override your vote and put in different people in the electoral college? That’s the fake elector plan. They said they were the real electors, when they were not.
Thanks. How would they ever get away with that? Aren’t electoral college members selected way in advance? I know they aren’t legally required to vote the way their constituents want, but if a state replaced one altogether with a stooge, wouldn’t their vote just not count?
To piggy back on this and the confusion, Ted Cruz, who already admitted on tape that there was no evidence of fraud, wanted to form a phony GOP commission, that along with the confusion of the fake electors and Jan 6 not going to certify, it would be up to this fake commission to declare trump still president.
Got it. This makes sense now
