New revelations have emerged surrounding a purported last-minute effort by Donald Trump’s campaign to transport counterfeit elector ballots to Washington, D.C., just days before the January 6, 2021, insurrection attempt, as reported by CNN.
The plan reportedly faced obstacles when forged elector certificates from critical battleground states, Michigan and Wisconsin, encountered delivery delays, per a report by Raw Story on December 29, 2023. Efforts to dispatch the false documents to Vice President Mike Pence during the Electoral College certification allegedly involved a rushed chain of couriers, purportedly with aid from two Republican members of Congress. Reports even suggest the contemplation of chartering a private jet to ensure prompt delivery.
As revealed in communications quoted by CNN, Wisconsin Republican Party officials expressed dismay at the request to transport falsified elector certificates. Andrew Hitt, the former state party chairman who cooperated with federal investigators, mentioned that the couriering endeavor turned out to be redundant, as the authentic documents mailed by the state party reached Washington within the timeline.
