Shitbag fucking cowards.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Ten Republicans who posed as fake electors for former President Donald Trump in Wisconsin and filed paperwork falsely saying he had won the battleground state have settled a civil lawsuit and admitted their actions were part of an effort to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory, attorneys who filed the case announced Wednesday.

Under the agreement, the fake electors acknowledged that Biden won the state, withdrew their filings and agreed not to serve as presidential electors in 2024 or any other election where Trump is on the ballot.

The 10 fake electors agreed to send a statement to the government offices that received the Electoral College votes saying that their actions were “part of an attempt to improperly overturn the 2020 presidential election results.”

The settlement marks the first time that any Trump electors have revoked their filings sent to Congress purporting that Trump had won in seven battleground states. Nevada on Wednesday became the third state to criminally charge fake electors, following Georgia and Michigan. Trump faces charges in Georgia and in a federal investigation of his conduct related to the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.

 

The settlement was announced by Law Forward, Georgetown University Law Center’s Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection and the Madison-based Stafford Rosenbaum law firm.

“Americans believe in democracy and the idea that the people choose their leaders through elections,” said Jeff Mandell, one of the attorneys who brought the case on behalf of Democratic voters, including two who served as Biden electors. “The defendants’ actions violated those bedrock principles. We brought this case to ensure that they are held accountable.”

There is no known criminal investigation ongoing in Wisconsin. Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul has signaled that he is relying on federal investigators to look into what happened in Wisconsin, while also not ruling out a state probe.

Democrats brought the lawsuit last year seeking $2.4 million in damages from 10 Republicans who submitted a document to Congress falsely declaring Trump as the 2020 election winner in Wisconsin. They also sued two of Trump’s attorneys, including one who has already pleaded guilty to other charges stemming from the 2020 election in Georgia.

The case was scheduled to go to a trial by jury in September 2024, two months before the presidential election.

Under the deal, the fake electors don’t pay any damages or attorneys fees and there is no admission of wrongdoing or liability.

The Wisconsin GOP electors have long said that they were partaking in the plan in case a court later ruled that Trump had won the state. One of the fake electors, former Wisconsin state Republican Chairman Andrew Hitt, repeated that position in a statement Wednesday.

“The Wisconsin electors were tricked and misled into participating in what became the alternate elector scheme and would have never taken any actions had we known that there were ulterior reasons beyond preserving an ongoing legal strategy,” he said. Hitt said he has been working with the Justice Department since May of 2022 and he will not be supporting Trump in 2024.

The fake elector plan hatched in seven battleground states was central to the federal indictment filed against Trump earlier in August that alleged he tried to overturn results of the 2020 election. Federal prosecutors said the scheme originated in Wisconsin.

Fake electors met in Wisconsin and six other states where Trump was defeated in 2020 and signed certificates that falsely stated Trump, not Biden, won their states. The fake certificates were ignored.

One of the attorneys named in the Wisconsin lawsuit, Kenneth Chesebro, pleaded guilty to a felony charge of conspiracy to commit filing false documents after being charged with participating in efforts to overturn Trump’s loss in Georgia. Chesebro was charged alongside Trump and 17 others with violating the state’s anti-racketeering law.

The Wisconsin lawsuit cites a memo Chesebro sent to Trump’s attorney in Wisconsin, Jim Troupis, in November 2020 detailing the elector plan.

Under the settlement, the 10 fake electors promised to assist the Department of Justice with its ongoing investigation. They also agreed to help the Democrats as they continue their lawsuit against Troupis and Chesebro.

Troupis and Chesebro did not return voicemail messages seeking comment.

The fake electors also released nearly 600 pages of documents related to their scheme, under terms of the settlement.

Those show one Republican involved with the fake elector plot texting another one referring to their action declaring Trump the winner of Wisconsin as a “possible steal.” The sender said they felt compelled to go along with the plan or else Trump supporters would be upset and there “would be a target on my back.”

Government and outside investigationshave uniformly found there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could have swung the election from Biden. Trump has continued to spread falsehoods about the 2020 election.

Electors are people appointed to represent voters in presidential elections. The winner of the popular vote in each state determines which party’s electors are sent to the Electoral College, which meets in December after the election to certify the outcome.

What a shame….they had to acknowledge the truth

It's all for show you dingbat.  They were FORCED.  It's funny that they are not being charged with anything......HMMM

They wouldn't have been forced if they had any proof of their claim.  Hell trump himself and his legal team would have gone way out of their way to ensure it 

So if that is what you mean by forced....

If they did something wrong they would have been charged, but this was the only thing the liberals in Madison could come up with.

He was basically a lame duck the first time around.  Couldn't keep important campaign promises.  It would be worse this time....but he can't win.

Kept more campaign promises than any other president in my lifetime.... 2 are very important for me and will have earned him a second term

...secured our border 

....lowered taxes very noticeably but would also be very noticeable when those tax laws expire..... Hopefully when he's the KING MAGA again he will extend them

 

Have a wonderful and prosperous day .. I'm in a very good mood, latest polls are off the chart.

MAGA 24 !

poor racer...

He didn't do either, but definitely failed at the first.  If he would have secured it then it would still be secured...

Seriously?  You claimed he fixed the border problem, yet you claim we have one today.  ie, it wasn't fixed...rather simple.

Totally reversing every Trump policy will have that effect... Not much you can do about it.  

And he lowered taxes on every income bracket....FACT... Especially middle class

Hey, threatening little old ladys with jail time or all kinds of bullshit and  having them waste money for lawyers fighting frivolous lawsuits vs just signing an agreement.  What would you do?  It's exactly what happened with John T. Chisholm and some of Walker's staff.  If you don't have enough money to fight it, sometimes it is better to just agree.

Oh so now there was the possibility of jail time? Make up your mind.

Its never about whether they actually did what they're are accused of.

It was nothing but show.  I told you this.  Same with almost everything with trump.  Then they have people talking about how he is guilty because he settled a civil suit.  They lawyers and judges all rely on the fact that people don't quite understand that there is a difference between a civil suit vs criminal suit.  All dipshits like sr and mc like to hear is "guilty"

You should really pay attention to what really happened.  Biden softened the path to legal status, he temporarily removed the wait in mexico but switched back, expanded the family green card capability and such but has arrested something like 3 times the number of people crossing.  Both released similar percentages.

ie, Trump didn't fix shit on the border.  Biden definitely softened some things but they are unrelated to your problems with the border.  Both were bandaids as well.  Would be good to have a leader that would actually look at the root cause and resolve it.

He made no changes to the 10% and 35% bracket.  The 35% bracket is a good portion of the middle class.  So no, he did NOT lower taxes on every bracket.

Ya OJ was guilty in the civil suit but wasn't convicted in the Murder trial. Dang that guys still running around free who killed those people!

You did tell us all that; however, you are rather confused regularly so no one really cares what you tell.

Nicely off topic and full of whiny liberal behavior.

It's really, really simple.  If there was a rigging Trump is smart enough and wealthy enough to make sure that it is exposed and made rightfully the president.  The only other option is that your beliefs are based on lies.
