Arizona Republican who signed phony 'certification' saying Trump won flees from reporter's questioning

Alternate, January 13, 2022

On Tuesday, Arizona state Rep. Jake Hoffman, one of the Republicans who signed a fake election "certification" alleging that he was a Republican elector appointed for former President Donald Trump's nonexistent victory in Arizona, turned away from a reporter with 12 News trying to ask him about his role in the forgery.

The reporter caught up with Hoffman and demanded he explain how he had authority as an elector, he said, "in unprecedented times, unprecedented action does occur."

When the reporter asked if Hoffman received any direction from anyone, he tried to deflect.

"I was one of the electors, I'm not in charge of the electors," Hoffman said.

Snip…

Two days ago, another Republican official involved in the forged election certificates, Kathy Berden, defended the plot because "that was a long time ago."

Amazing what light from a free press can illuminate: this GOP traitor newbie also was appointed “to serve” as one of the state’s “recount” leaders. What a conspiracy!

Trump allies' fake Electoral College certificates offer fresh insights about plot to overturn Biden's victory

By Zachary Cohen and Marshall Cohen, CNN
Updated 9:12 PM ET, Wed January 12, 2022

CNN)In the weeks after the 2020 election, then-President Donald Trump's allies sent fake certificates to the National Archives declaring that Trump won seven states that he actually lost. The documents had no impact on the outcome of the election, but they are yet another example of how Team Trump tried to subvert the Electoral College -- a key line of inquiry for the January 6 committee.

The fake certificates were created by Trump allies in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada and New Mexico, who sought to replace valid presidential electors from their states with a pro-Trump slate, according to documents obtained by American Oversight.

The documents contain the signatures of Trump supporters who claimed to be the rightful electors from seven states that President Joe Biden won. But these rogue slates of electors didn't have the backing of any elected officials in the seven states -- like a governor or secretary of state, who are involved in certifying election results -- and they served no legitimate purpose.
The documents were first posted online in March by the government watchdog group. But they received renewed attention this week, as the January 6 committee ramps up its investigation into Trump's attempted coup, including how his allies tried to stop states from certifying Biden's victory, in part, by installing friendly slates of electors who would overturn the will of the voters.

How bloody stupid are these people? Did they really think there would be no repercussions for what they did? Besides being illegal and un-American, it is incredibly dumb.

These are the people who are the cause of bizarre warning labels like "Do not iron while wearing shirt", "Do not hold the wrong end of the chainsaw", or "Remove child before folding (stroller)". I always wondered who they were.

AMERICAN OVERSIGHT OBTAINS SEVEN PHONY CERTIFICATES OF PRO-TRUMP ELECTORS

March 2, 2021

American Oversight has obtained copies of phony electoral vote certificates from seven states that were submitted to Congress as part of the failed attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The fake electoral certificates were assembled by groups of Trump supporters in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin who sought to replace the valid presidential electors from their state — who had been chosen by voters in free and fair elections — with bogus slates of pro-Trump electors.

None of the certificates contains any indication that they list illegitimate slates of electors not chosen by those states’ voters.

The coordinated, multi-state effort to cast doubt on the 2020 election and undermine the electoral vote process tragically led to the violent Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in which a pro-Trump mob stormed the building and sought to physically block the congressional certification of each state’s real Electoral College votes.

No, the electors are the people who appointed to be so after the vote is counted. The vote was counted

All who follow the Big Lie are liars.

Arizona's minister of disinformation is appointed to help oversee election law? Seriously?

House Speaker Rusty Bowers appoints a newly elected legislator who specializes in internet disinformation campaigns to the No. 2 post on the panel that oversees elections. Genius plan.

Opinion by Laurie Roberts
Arizona Republic, Nov. 23, 2020

The newly elected legislator who ran what amounts to an internet troll farm — paying teens to post conservative talking points and baseless conspiracy theories aimed at getting President Donald Trump re-elected — has been appointed to the state House committee that oversees elections.

No, really.

House Speaker Rusty Bowers this week not only appointed incoming Rep. Jake Hoffman to the House Government and Elections Committee, he made this minister of disinformation the panel’s vice chairman.

The Washington Post in September exposed Hoffman’s Rally Forge, a digital marketing firm that paid teenagers, some of them minors, to set up fake personas and blanket social media with thousands of nearly identical posts aimed at undermining confidence in the validity of election and downplaying the impact of COVID-19.

Lou Dobbs Says 7 States Chose Electors for Both Candidates and Trump Could Still Win

BY JEFFERY MARTIN
Newsweek, 12/15/20

Fox Business host Lou Dobbs alleged on Tuesday that President Donald Trump could still win the 2020 election, despite the fact that President-elect Joe Biden was declared the victor in the Electoral College on Monday.

The Quote

Dobbs claimed that seven states—Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico—had chosen electors for both Trump and President-elect Joe Biden.

"If the House and the Senate cannot agree on which electors to accept," Dobbs said, "an untested constitutional procedure could result in each state being given one vote which they could allocate to either Biden or Trump. And since the Republicans hold 26 of the 50 State houses, there would exist at least the mathematical possibility that President Trump could be named the constitutionally elected president."

Why It Matters

Trump has continued to claim without evidence that he actually won the election and that widespread voter fraud on the part of the Democrats has made him appear to be the loser. Trump's legal team has filed multiple lawsuits in battleground states attempting to overturn the results of the election.

Alabama Republican Mo Brooks said Monday that he would challenge Biden's electoral college victory in the Congress. In an interview with Dobbs, Brooks said that Congress has "the lawful authority to accept or reject Electoral College vote submissions from states that have such flawed election systems that they're not worthy of our trust."

Their signing those blatantly fake documents should be grounds for removal, just as soon as possible. Those of you who have the misfortune of being represented by any of these scumbags: call them, write them (with copies to your local news outlets), and demand their resignations. Thanks for going the extra mile in reclaiming our country.
