Today’s notice: Fake electors from 2020: Where are they now? A vibe check on Republicans in Nevada. How Republicans are navigating post-hurricane politics. And Congress’ resident meteorologist weighs in.
NOTUS is running the numbers, and “nearly a sixth” of the people who sat as fake electors in the scheme to overturn the last presidential election (perhaps you’ve heard of it) are slated to be electors this time in swing states. Or they are state officials overseeing the elections. There are two notable exceptions, NOTUS’ Jose Pagliery and Byron Tau report: Arizona and Wisconsin took steps to keep fake electors away from the actual Electoral College this time. But other swing states are set to seat them.
