One of the strongest parts of the case against Trump and his co-conspirators involves the fake elector scheme. Now, new evidence, along with a terrific timeline from the Georgia indictment, make that clearer than ever. I explain in today’s piece. https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/two-frauds-dont-make-a-right?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

@jaykuo Succinctly: They assumed before the election there would be fraud (or at least glitches they could frame as such) and drew up the fake-elector plan to spin that into confusion they could exploit.

When it turned out there was no actual fraud, they were already invested in the plan. Their only choice was to lie and say the fraud did happen, and push forward with trying the fake elector thing anyway.

Lauding and celebrating a criminal…

Still not finished reading your well-written and easily understandable (hard to do when law AND politics are involved!) piece, but I have a question....

You've mentioned "what happened in Hawaii in 1960" a couple of times, but you haven't given a link. I would love to find out what Hawaii was about. Do you have a link for us, please?
