Trump Electors Include Many Election Deniers

In the lead-up to the 2024 election, over a dozen Republicans involved in the 2020 'fake electors' scheme are set to serve as official electors for Donald Trump in key swing states, including Pennsylvania, Nevada, Georgia, and Michigan. Out of 82 electors selected, at least 14 have ties to the 2020 scheme, while 16 others are election deniers who falsely claim Joe Biden's victory was fraudulent. The presence of these individuals raises concerns about potential post-election chaos should Trump lose again, echoing tactics from the previous election cycle. Reports indicate that some of these electors are facing pending criminal charges for their past actions. Virginia is also experiencing vulnerabilities in election security, attributed to the influence of election deniers on local electoral boards. Experts warn that the ongoing embrace of election denialism within the Republican Party could undermine the electoral process.
