paperwork to try to cast fake votes in the electoral college for donald trump. you can see in the headline here on this story that broke just as we were getting on the air, them osha roots of trump s focus on january 6th and alternate electors. here is the lead 15 days after election day in 2020, a lawyer for the trump campaign in wisconsin received a memo setting out what became the rationale for an audacious strategy to put in place alternate slates of electors, slates where trump was trying to overturn his loss. the memo may not have been the first time that lawyers and allies of trump weighed the possibility of naming their own electors in the hope they may eventually succeed in flipping the outcome in battleground states through recounts and lawsuits baselessly asserting widespread fraud. but the november 18th memo, again 50 days after the election, and another 13 weeks later are among the earliest known efforts to put on paper proposals for preparing alternate electors.
