How stupid do you have to be to forge a document, tweet your forgery, and then send the document to the National Archives?
Stupid Party, indeed.

Can we stop calling them “fake electors?” This was fraud, call them fraudulent electors. While we may not like “fake” things, we’ll often settle for “fake.” House brand “Corn Flakes” are not actually Corn Flakes™, they’re a fake in that sense. It’s not fraud though. They are not sold as actual Corn Flakes™. These people tried to perpetrate election fraud. They were a fraudulent set of counterfeit electors designed to steal an election.

TPM’s coverage of the SCOTUS and of Merchan’s court has been excellent!

As a child I watched the smoke from the KSU ROTC building rise above the tree line. I’m a KSU alumni. I walked by the May 4th memorial almost every day. The idea of calling in the National Guard to a college campus fills me with dread. What insanity.

Indicted for felonies. Yeah, it’s serious, not just frivolously fake.

and how that is bad for Biden.

Kelli Ward , former chair of the Arizona Republican Party and Trump fake elector
I don’t think I read here what she and her husband are doing now. She quit her medical practice, and she and her husband bought a yacht. They’re now running a charter boat business out of the Bahamas.
Ward — who now runs a charter boat business in the Bahamas and could not be reached for comment — was about as subtle as a sledgehammer.

No. They were, in fact, fake electors. Branding, man.

A million bites per second sounds pretty awful; I gotta believe there’d be some scratching as well.
