Three Key Takeaways from the Lawfare Pursuit of Alternate Electors

Topic: Elections

Yesterday, insecure Democrat blowhards and election fraud beneficiaries in Michigan and Arizona trickled out news and charges related to the so-called fake electors scheme being used to intimidate election dissenters out of having an opinion about future outcomes – perhaps, say, seven months from now.

In Michigan, it was revealed in a cross examination that President Trump, Mark Meadows, and Rudy Giuliani, among others, are unindicted coconspirators in a case spearheaded by Dana Nessel, the state’s insufferable Attorney General who operates with an iron fist, seeks to weaponize law enforcement against her critics, and shows up drunk at college football games.  This isn’t shocking news, because Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, who I ominously profiled last week, came out with her shitlist of indictments against Arizona’s alternate electors, which includes two current legislators, and it is plainly clear that Trump is unindicted coconspirator 1 (unless there is another former president known for rightly claiming the outcome of the 2020 election was fraudulent).

Put another quarter in the outrage machine and let MSNBC take another victory lap.  Here in the land of liberty, if you don’t think an election was decided fairly, you’d better keep it to yourself and bend the knee to people who lack the fundamental understanding of what it is that makes men free.  Nessel and Mayes, in light of their tenacity in pursuing those who sought a fair shake, are both complying with the expectations of those who bought their ways into office and are doing so under the guise of protecting democracy.

We all know that is a gaslighting whopper of a lie spun for print in the most widely circulated propaganda rags, but the most ignorant, surface-level thinkers don’t bother to look for what I believe are three key takeawaysfor the deliberate operation taken against alternate electors and architects of that plan in the period between the 2020 quasi-election and January 6, 2021:

I.                             Alternate Electors are not Unprecedented

In case you’re worried I’m biased, here is a link to a piece from a think tank that clearly supports the decision to certify Joe Biden as the 2020 winner and next president.  That article provides context into the 1876 dispute between Republican Rutherford Hayes and Democrat Samuel Tilden in which South Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida were disputed.  Hayes needed to carry all three to win the presidency, and multiple slates of electors went flying.  Ultimately, Hayes was inaugurated, but was plagued with the nickname his fraudulency for four years before giving way to James Garfield.

Alternate electors, which also came into play in Hawaii in 1960, can be expected in the event of a disputed election, and over three years later, five out of eight American likely voters believe Donald Trump should have been reelected.  Seven states appointed slates of alternate electors, and architect John Eastman anticipated they would be needed in the event of Mike Pence doing more than rubber stamping the states’ corrupt results.  Had challenges to certification been upheld, something would have had to stand in for results potentially set aside.  Since we have now established that, although rare, alternate elector slates do exist, it is clear that Nessel, Mayes, and others following suit are making…
