I am still confused how exactly they expected to get away with it. The states knew who their electors were, they were appointed prior to the election, and they were identified and checked in that day to perform their duty. If it was that easy for any random person to show up and claim to be an elector and not have it questioned then the Electoral college would have fallen apart long ago.

This video should have tens of millions of views. Ridiculous.

I didn't think he knew about that, but now we know he had a sticky, little orange hands in everything.

Wait so...they just showed up and thought no one would notice ? I genuinely thought I was misunderstanding because I swore it couldn't be that dumb.

In 1986-7 the state of NSW in Australia asked for bids to build the first casino in Sydney. Four groups submitted bids for the lucrative project. Cabinet papers declassified 30 years later revealed that the Trump bid was rejected after NSW State Police reported that the Trump mafia connections and financial unviability made their bid undesirable.

The fact that this only has 50k views. @NBC News, apparently doesn’t like success

If trump and his supporters want to do this a second time then bring it on! I’ll vote against him with whoever runs against him in November

This is stunning! How can we let this happen? What is happening to my country! 🇺🇸

Key word... alleged. Same as it always is for anything they throw against him in their campaign to keep him from running again.

Project 2025 is all the rage but don't ever let them forget about this.

They end by saying the voters were not in question. But Pennsylvania and Arizona had very questionable elections. No proof of fraud in the end and I think Trump has to just move forward without the spectacle.
