Topic: Fake Electors

Senators Susan Collins and Joe Manchin are negotiating updates to the 1887 Electoral Count Act to clarify the Vice President's ministerial role. The proposed legislation aims to raise the threshold for challenging state electors to 20% of each chamber. The terminology of "fake electors" versus "alternative slates" is examined in the context of the January 6 investigation.

The House Select Committee on the January 6 insurrection is focusing on Donald Trump's alleged pressure on the Justice Department. Representative Adam Schiff claims to have evidence of Trump's direct involvement in a scheme to use "fake" electoral college ballots. The hearings feature testimony from former acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen regarding efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
