The litigious left has run into some problems trying to sell its legally flawed narrative that former President Donald Trump, along with his campaign attorneys and supporters, unlawfully used an alternate electors strategy to subvert the results of the 2020 elections.
The accused include former Trump campaign attorney Christina Bobb, who currently serves as the Republican National Committee's senior counsel for election integrity, and John Eastman, former Trump attorney who is facing disbarment in California for leading an alternate electors strategy similar to the one that was employed by John F. Kennedy's 1960 campaign.
In casting their electoral ballots for Kennedy, the three Hawaiian Democrats certified they were the "Duly and legally qualified and appointed" electors for president and vice president for the state of Hawaii and that they had been "Certified by the Executive." The Hawaii electors further attested: "We hereby certify that the lists of all the votes of the state of Hawaii given for President, and of all the votes given for Vice President, are contained herein."
In Pennsylvania, even far-left Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro, the Keystone State's attorney general at the time, was forced by the facts to concede that "Our office does not believe this meets the legal standards for forgery." The Trump alternate electors there specified that if the courts later determine that they are the "Duly elected and qualified electors," their certification of the election for Trump would then be considered valid.
Like the alternate electors in other swing states where the election results were questioned, the Pennsylvania stand-ins have said they wanted to be in position by the statutory deadline in case the Trump campaign won its legal challenges.
Smith reportedly has been working with the New Mexico attorney general's office, which in January announced that alternate electors there could not be charged because they did not break election law.
As CNN reported this week, Google and X have delivered "Hundreds of files to Michigan prosecutors for their 2020 election subversion probe, complying with search warrants that investigators obtained after CNN revealed secret social media accounts belonging to pro-Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro, who played a major role in the fake electors plot."
