Shortly before the Jan. 6 riot started at the U.S. Capitol, law professor John Eastman spoke at a Women for America First rally for then-President Donald Trump, enthusiastically sharing his theory that there was cheating in the November and January elections. According to Eastman, there were “secret folders” placed inside voting machines that were filled with ballots to be matched with registered voters who did not cast their ballots.
