Fake Electors

 Six states, including Pennsylvania, prepared documents for fake electors in an effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.  I have thought one reform of the Electoral College that everyone might agree upon would be to award the electoral college votes without having actual electors.  That would eliminate the possibility of a “faithless elector.”  Those are electors who are pledged to vote for a candidate, but then jump ship to vote for a different candidate.  That happens rarely, but it has occurred.

I never considered that a presidential candidate would try to subvert the entire process.  Many Republicans believe the 2020 election was stolen.  Now we learn that the Trumpists attempted to subvert the Electoral College vote and steal the election.
