The Defendant's Plan to Obstruct the Electoral Vote Through Deceit of State Officials

The plan capitalized on ideas presented in memoranda drafted by co-conspirator five, an attorney who was assisting the defendant's campaign with legal efforts related to a recount in Wisconsin. The fraudulent elector memo suggested that the defendant's electors in six purportedly contested states should meet and mimic as best as possible the actions of the legitimate Biden electors. On January 6, the Vice President should open and count the fraudulent votes, setting up a fake controversy that would derail the proper certification of Biden as president elect.
