  1. #Fake #electors from 2020 💥giving thousands to Trump-Vance campaign💥

    ‘Trump and Vance are 🔥keeping extremist election-deniers in the fold 🔥to challenge the fall election,’ warns watchdog

    “It is incredibly rare for politicians to ❌accept campaign contributions from people under indictment,❌”
    said Michael Beckel, the research director at Issue One,
    an election watchdog group.

    "Political candidates generally don’t want to be tied to convicted or accused felons.

    Yet in certain circles, association with the people who served as fake electors for Donald Trump in 2020 may be a
    'badge of honor'.”

    “Former President Trump likely has #fewer #qualms about ♦️accepting campaign cash from people under indictment ♦️for serving as fake electors in 2020 than the typical politician,” he added.

    👉David Hanna, a fake elector from Georgia who was not criminally charged,
    has given at least $25,000 to Trump this year.

    In 2021 and 2023, Hanna also donated more than $6,000 combined to JD Vance’s senate campaign.

    👉Daryl Moody, another fake elector in Georgia who was not charged, donated $2,900 in 2022 to Vance.

    #Vance, Trump’s running mate, has been ♦️supportive of Trump’s efforts to overturn the election ♦️and has said that
    if he had been vice-president in 2020,
    he would have used his power overseeing the joint session of Congress to recognize fake slates of electors.

    “It doesn’t take a lot of work to figure out that ⚠️Donald Trump and JD Vance are keeping extremist election-deniers in the fold ⚠️
    as reliable henchmen and women
    🆘to challenge the results of the fall election🆘,”
    said Brandon Weathersby,
    a spokesperson for American Bridge 21st Century,
    a Super Pac that supports Democrats and initially flagged the donations to the Guardian.

    🔥“They’ve taken thousands of dollars in donations from fake electors and welcomed them with open arms to the Republican national convention last month. 🔥

    Trump and Vance are actively
    💥 selling out our democracy💥 in exchange for the power to enact their #Project2025 #agenda the day they step into the White House.”

  2. Republicans also made concerns about the election a formal part of their #platform.

    “We will implement measures to secure our elections,
    including voter ID,
    highly sophisticated paper ballots,
    proof of citizenship and same-day voting.

    We will not allow the Democrats to give voting rights to illegal aliens,” the document says.

    Republicans say they are building an army of poll watchers and observers
    to watch over the vote this year.

    They’ve also appointed #Christina #Bobb,
    a lawyer facing criminal charges in Arizona for her involvement in the #fake #electors scheme,
    to head the party’s litigation efforts.

  3. Kenneth Chesebro is going to be his own chapter in the book of democracy's demise.

    No other democracy I'm aware of to date had such a deliberate sharp wedge which can be pointed to in the way Chesebro can be.

  4. Bernie Kerik Pitched Mark Meadows on ‘$5 to $8’ Million Plan To Reverse Trump 2020 Loss

    Per an email surfaced in a defamation lawsuit brought against Rudy #Giuliani, #Kerik wrote to then-White House Chief of Staff Mark #Meadows in a Dec. 28, 2020 missive that he would need “between $5 to $8M” to put a plan into action that would #pressure #state #legislators into throwing their electors behind Trump.

    It was one feature of a broader effort to co-opt state legislatures into a scheme that would have seen them try to send slates of #fake #electors to Washington on #January6.

    A “strategic communications plan” attached to Kerik’s email indicated he would need millions of dollars to work alongside Giuliani to “pressure” state lawmakers into cooperating.
