The Partisan Divide on Issues

[Bob Butler 54]

Another twist has come up.  In December of 2020, the Republicans in five states (at least) forged false documents that claimed Trump electors,  These elector lists were sent to Congress, the national archives and elsewhere.  Rachel Maddows among others are bringing these documents to light.  The fairly senior Republicans signers, apparently serious enough in the party to be selected as electors, could wind up in legal difficulties.  The states involved include Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia and Arizona.  The forged documents have identical wording and formatting, indicating somebody coordinated the efforts.  

A sixth state, Pennsylvania, sent in a variant slate of electors, but labeled them as alternates to be taken seriously only if some court overthrew the vote.  None did.

In Arizona, it seems another independent set of Republicans came up with the same idea.  Arizona actually had three sets of electors according to separate documents.

Preliminary evidence indicates Clark in the US Justice Department at least knew about these letters, but they haven't got a smoking gun as to who instigated them yet.  As in all five states some scheduled preliminary Republican electors wanted no part of this effort, and replacements had to be found, there will be lots of people to talk to to trace back responsibility.

Another example of well documented election tampering...
