Co-Conspirators' Plan to Use Fraudulent Elector Certificates

When the defendant's electors expressed concern about signing certificates representing themselves as legitimate electors, co-conspirator one falsely assured them that their certificates would be used only if the defendant succeeded in litigation. A campaign official cautioned not to offer the conditional language to other states because quote, the other states are signing what he prepared. If it gets out, we change the language for Pennsylvania. It could snowball end quote. The next day the defendant's campaign filed an election challenge suit in New Mexico at 1154 am six minutes before the noon deadline for the electors votes as a pretext so that there was pending litigation there at the time the fraudulent electors voted.
