Another gem from the same source: 

Above The Law - Georgia Fake Electors Say Plot To Overturn Vote Was Legal. Or Rudy Giuliani's Fault. Or The Prosecutor Is Mean. Or ... 

1. initially election officials were fooled because they were just too stupid

The New York Times - Bipartisan Senate Group Strikes Deal to Rewrite Electoral Count Act

20 July 2022

WASHINGTON - A bipartisan group of senators proposed new legislation on Wednesday to modernize the 135-year-old Electoral Count Act, working to overhaul a law that President Trump tried to abuse on Jan. 6, 2021, to interfere with Congress’s certification of his election defeat.

 

The legislation aims to guarantee a peaceful transition from one president to the next, after the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol exposed how the current law could be manipulated to disrupt the process. 

 

One measure would make it more difficult for lawmakers to challenge a state’s electoral votes when Congress meets to count them. 

 

It would also clarify that the vice president has no discretion over the results, and it would set out the steps to begin a presidential transition.

 

Sounds like a good idea to me.   😐

Without just looking it up in Wikipedia.

Oh stop it. You are making me blush 😊

Isn't that what happens when you don't have enough moral fibre?

Excellent.

Prosecutors should be keeping close watch for large deposits into jurors' bank accounts.
