New York Times Reporting Reveals: How Trump lawyer provided legal rationale for fake electors

[Joinfortmill]

Heather Cox Richardson from Letters from an American - February 3, 2022

"...the New York Times today revealed two legal memos from a lawyer affiliated with the Trump campaign providing legal
rationales for the fake electors."

"One memo, dated November 18, 2020, by Kenneth Chesebro, justified the casting of fake ballots; another, dated December 9, 2020, focused on overturning the certified ballots for Biden. It urged the fake electors to meet in secret, sign fake documents, and submit them as if they were real."

“In conclusion,” he wrote, “it appears that voting by an alternate slate of electors is unproblematic in Arizona and Wisconsin; slightly problematic in Michigan (requiring access to the senate chamber); somewhat dicey in Georgia and Pennsylvania…; and very problematic in Nevada.”

"Chesebro’s cool analysis of how to overturn our democracy is chilling. "

1. I don't believe this was hatched out of their ass.

I think this kind of shit has been happening in local and state elections for quite a while.

3. Exactly. Not the first time they have tampered with elections.

It was all too smooth and automatic for it to be the first rodeo.

2. That Chesebro memo sure looks like the "smoking gun"
