59. i think they may try to make the argument they were "hoodwinked"

Perhaps told by drumpf representatives that the state legislatures were about to throw out the results for fraud, and they needed the electoral votes signed at at the archives to be counted on Jan 6th? Not saying that's an excuse... just what they might try.

One thing is for sure, their phone records should be pulled by warrant because you can bet they have all been talking about "getting their stories straight".

These are the questions the DOJ and/or Jan 6 commission should be asking......

Who contacted you about signing this document?

What did they say to you to convince you to sign it?

Did they ever say or infer that they planned to submit the documents to the national archives?

What did they tell you would be done with the document once you signed it?

And in the case of Michigan: Why did you go to the Michigan Capitol the day the votes were certified? Who's idea was it? Did you intend to have your votes cast in place of the Biden electors?

Hard for them to explain why they went to Lansing for any reason other than replacing the legitimate electors with their fake ones, thus committing election fraud at best and sedition at the worst. Good luck legal speaking your way out of that.
