re: #351 jaunte

Wow, the details in the Wash Post report on the Willard Hotel “war room” are eye-popping put together. So the Campaign funded a command center to strong arm state officials to falsely claim fraud, reverse a democratic election and incite an insurrection? https://t.co/fuEYLVfWj1

From the article:

A participant on the call, Michigan state Sen. Ed McBroom (R), recalled listening as Trump, Giuliani, Eastman and others described the power state legislators have over the certification of electors. “I didn’t need any convincing about our plenary powers,” McBroom told The Post. “I was listening to hear whether they had any evidence to substantiate claims” of significant voter fraud that could change the results in Michigan. The callers did not provide additional information, he said, and he did not support a delay in the electoral vote count.

As we know, the GOP usually projects their crimes onto others. So my question, is it possible that the Trump consiglieres were confident about stealing because they did in fact “steal” many votes, perhaps enough to affect the outcome in other races? Most of the cases brought to light were one-off situations but a sufficient number of these can change results. Let’s never forget the 2018 North Carolina election fraud case in a Congressional race.
