Lawfare Daily: Mary McCord on the Effort to Hold Fake Electors Accountable

In 2022, Georgetown University Law Center’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection and Stafford Rosenbaum filed a lawsuit against 10 Wisconsin fraudulent electors, Kenneth Chesebro, and James Troupis for their efforts to subvert the 2020 election. Earlier this year, ICAP reached two settlements with the defendants which resulted in thousands of pages of text messages, emails, and other correspondence being turned over, providing new insight into how exactly the fake electors scheme was developed and implemented in Wisconsin and across the country.
Lawfare Associate Editor for Communications Anna Hickey sat down with ICAP Executive Director Mary McCord to discuss the settlements reached with the Wisconsin fraudulent electors, what new information was revealed in the thousands of pages of documents turned over, and whether the recent criminal charges filed against Kenneth Chesebro, James Troupis, and Mike Roman revealed any new information.

TY for this succinct explanation of the entire fake electors scheme. Very much appreciated 👍

Preparation for false narrative is proceeding, yes. At this stage, the form the work takes is installing “observers” at various levels in the election apparatuses of the swing states. Think “obfuscation” and “intimidation”. There is also planning and organizing for subsequent stages that is quite transparent. Democracy Docket is a valuable resource to follow these developments.

Mary McCord is very well spoken. It's a pleasure to hear her speak so clearly, and I'm not American.

Thank you for diligently doing your job.

Ron Johnson is in deep trouble.

So bottom line, no jail. Good grief.

Congress still has to sign off on it.
