True Crimes: the misdeeds of TCF. Part 2, Fraudulent elector schemes[


In practice, the fraudulent elector plan played out somewhat differently in each targeted
state. In general, the co-conspirators deceived the defendant's elector nominees in the same way
that the defendant and CC2 deceived P39 by falsely claiming that their electoral votes
would be used only if ongoing litigation were resolved in the defendant's favor.282 A selectfew
ofthe defendant's agents and elector nominees, however, had insight into the ultimate plan to use
the fraudulent elector certificates to disrupt the congressional certification on January 6.283 In
several states, the defendant, his co-conspirators, and agents were unable to convince all ofthe
defendant's elector nominees to participate.2284 P57 for instance, a former U.S.
Representative and U.S. Attorney and one ofthe defendant's elector nominees in Pennsylvania
who opted out ofthe plan, told the state party vice chair trying to organize the defendant's electors
that he would not participate because the plan did not follow the proper process and was illegal.”
When electors like P57 declined, the conspirators and agents had to recruit substitutes willing
to go along with the plan.² Other electors who participated based on the conspirators' false
assurances that their votes were only a contingency were later surprised to learn that they were
286
used on January 6— and would not have agreed to participate if the conspirators had been truthful
about their plan.2
