Its still crazy to me just how many americans have forgiven trump for this (or simply choose to not believe it even happened despite the guilty pleas).
The alternate electors in Arizona and other states had hoped that Vice President
Mike Pence would certify Trump as the winner of the 2020 election. Pence refused to do so on January 6, 2021. A group of Trump supporters then stormed the Capitol, some of them chanting threatening slogans about Pence.
A woman has pleaded guilty in the Arizona Trump electors case, just two day after lawyer
Jenna Ellis reached a plea agreement.
Ellis, once a major figure in the Trump campaign, may be called to testify against former New York mayor
Rudy Giuliani, ex-White House chief of staff
Mark Meadows and her other Arizona co-accused.
Prosecutors in Michigan, Wisconsin and Nevada have also filed criminal charges for fake Trump electors in their state.
In April, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes announced the indictment of Meadows, Giuliani and 16 others, including Ellis in the Trump campaign, as well as 11 Republicans who are accused of falsely declaring that Trump won in a document sent to
Congress.
On December 14, 2020, a group of
Republicans met in Phoenix to sign a document falsely declaring themselves the "duly elected and qualified electors" for the state and claiming that Trump was the victor, and another group composed of activists also signed a similar fake declaration, according to court documents.
Arizona, where President
Joe Biden defeated Trump by more than 10,000 votes, was
among seven states where Republicans are accused of acting as fake electors.
This should enrage everyone. Trump actually did in fact try to steal the election against the will of the voters. Then he lies and lies and lies and says that Biden stole the election with no evidence. **** trump.
