Former Michigan GOP spokesperson testifies fake elector defendants were misled

Associated Press  

A former communications director for the Michigan GOP testified Thursday that he believes an attorney for then-President Donald Trump’s campaign “took advantage” of some of the 15 Republicans who face forgery and another charges for allegedly serving as false electors. Investigators have said the group signed a document during a meeting at the Michigan Republican headquarters on Dec. 14, 2020, falsely stating they were the state’s “duly elected and qualified electors.” Zammit said that in January 2022 he contacted then-U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney, who was vice chair of the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol Building, and a reporter because he believed that “the entire truth” in the electors’ case had not come out. Zammit said Flynn later remarked: “Can you believe that I have to send this to the secretary of state, the vice president and the National Archive?” Electors may have been led to believe that Michigan could lose its electoral votes if Trump later was found to have won the 2020 presidential election in the state over Joe Biden, Zammit said. Former Michigan GOP chair Laura Cox also testified Thursday that conversations about assembling a slate of Republican electors began early in December 2020, and that she approved a document saying they would cast votes for Trump if Michigan’s 2020 election results were overturned.
