1. Staging a riot and a big lie got George Bush the presidency.

Trump just worked off that playbook, and enlarged the plan.

6. Well known. Google Brooks Brother Riot, George Bush Florida votes.

Gore vs Bush.

Basically George Bush stole the Florida votes to win the presidency, where his brother was governor at the time. The votes were in question and still being counted, but Bush got up and declared himself the winner on TV and staged a riot of his operatives to intimate the Dems. Gore took the case to the SC which ruled in favor of Bush and ordered the votes to stop being counted.

Trump just worked off of that playbook.

7. The illegal voter caging, taking black voters off Florida voter rolls, is what rigged the election.

And they still would have lost even after that massive crime if all votes had been counted, but the US Supreme Court was corrupt.

Some lame political performance art did not alter the outcome, that was just a ploy for media attention and narrative control.

Imagine this: a Republican governor in a crucial battleground state instructs his secretary of state to purge the voting rolls of hundreds of thousands of allegedly ineligible voters. The move disenfranchises thousands of legally registered voters, who happen to be overwhelmingly black and Hispanic Democrats. The number of voters prevented from casting a ballot exceeds the margin of victory in the razor-thin election, which ends up determining the next President of the United States.

If this scenario sounds familiar, that’s because it happened in Florida in 2000. And twelve years later, just months before another presidential election, history is repeating itself.

Back in 2000, 12,000 eligible voters – a number twenty-two times larger than George W. Bush’s 537 vote triumph over Al Gore – were wrongly identified as convicted felons and purged from the voting rolls in Florida, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. African Americans, who favored Gore over Bush by 86 points, accounted for 11 percent of the state’s electorate but 41 percent of those purged. Jeb Bush attempted a repeat performance in 2004 to help his brother win reelection but was forced to back off in the face of a public outcry. ................ Rolling Stone

10. BINGO: "... bigger scheme, clearly, to try to overthrow the United States government."

And the DoJ is already all over this conspiracy. One of the fake electors, from AZ if I recall correctly, said #FailedCoupGuy attorney, Rudy Giuliani, was organizing the effort.

Plenty more on the forgery crimes and criminal electors here, down thread:
