Trump electors in key states want to serve again, despite criminal charges
Source: Washington Post
Republican activists in at least three states where Donald Trump tried to reverse his defeat in 2020 nearly all of them under criminal indictment for casting electoral votes for him despite his loss are poised to reprise their roles as presidential electors this year.
Six activists in Michigan, Nevada and New Mexico have made clear to GOP leaders in their states that the investigations into their 2020 activities have not deterred them from seeking the position again. If anything, their view that the prosecutions are bogus has motivated them to step up, according to party leaders.
Their eagerness to serve and encouragement to do so from their parties reflects a widespread belief among Republicans that the electors did nothing wrong in 2020, raising the question of what they might do or say if Trump once again loses any of those states. Would they be willing to convene again and cast electoral votes for Trump? Would the Trump campaign try to organize such an effort? What might Trump ask of them? How far would they go to help him return to power?
