18. Yeah this is what makes the fake elector scheme so damning

If they had just said “hey everyone. Sign this document that say you are a drumpf elector just in case we get the legislature to vote to appoint you”, and then stuck it in a drawer until the day that happened, it would not have been a crime.

But the moment they pushed ahead with the scheme and tried to pass themselves off as the duly elected electors by showing up at state capitals and demanding that their votes be counted, and putting fake seals on them and sending them to congress and the archives, now it is a crime. And several crimes at that.
