“The 59 Republicans Who Joined Electoral Voter Fraud Scheme For Trump Could Face Prison”
- What seemed like political theater at the time actually violated state and federal fraud laws, according to current and former prosecutors. — S.V. Date
“I believe it’s critical that the federal government fully investigates and prosecutes any unlawful actions in furtherance of any seditious conspiracy,” said Josh Kaul, attorney general of Wisconsin, where 10 Republicans filed papers claiming to be the state’s electors even though Biden narrowly won there.
“This is a crime,” Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel told reporters earlier this month, adding that calling the elector slate “alternate” did a disservice and that it should be called a “false, counterfeit, fake slate of electors.”
“Weeks earlier, when the Electoral College met in each state, 10 Wisconsinites chose to commit fraud. While the electors chosen by the people met in public and cast Wisconsin’s votes in accordance with the election results, they skulked in the shadows and met in secrecy. These 10 Wisconsinites — including then-Chair of the state Republican Party Andrew Hitt and Wisconsin Elections Commissioner Robert Spindell — met somewhere in the Wisconsin Capitol and signed papers purporting to cast Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes for the losing candidate. In doing so, they broke the law. Wisconsin, like every other state, statutorily pledges to cast its electoral votes for the candidate who wins the popular vote statewide. These fraudulent electors disregarded that fundamental principle of our democracy and of Wisconsin law. They also seem to have violated Wisconsin laws prohibiting forgery, falsely assuming to act as public officers, misconduct in public office, and conspiracy to commit criminal acts, as well as violated federal law.”“Election Commissioner Bob Spindell can vote whether or not to investigate himself for election fraud” —Well of-course he can, IOIYAR
