Politico includes PDFs of documents from Arizona's and Michigan's rogue slates of purported electors. Arizona's met a week early, not on the day set by Congress. Michigan's includes the false statement that they "convened . . . in the State Capitol."

The Jan. 6 committee has gathered thousands of records from state officials and interviewed a slate of witnesses as it attempts to retrace Donald Trumps attempts to subvert the 2020 election.

Forged election documents in Michigan and Arizona
As Trump's team pushed its discredited voter fraud narrative, the National Archives received forged certificates of ascertainment declaring him and then-Vice President Mike Pence the winners of both Michigan and Arizona and their electors after the 2020 election. Public records requests show the secretaries of state for those states sent those certificates to the Jan. 6 panel, along with correspondence between the National Archives and state officials about the documents.
Spokespeople for the Michigan and Arizona secretaries of state declined to comment on the documents. The offices confirmed that Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs, both Democrats, and their staff met with the panel in November.
They mostly discussed election administration in Arizona, the 2020 elections, threats/harassment directed toward the office, and the Cyber Ninjas partisan ballot review, said Hobbs' spokesperson C. Murphy Hebert.
Benson and her staff took questions from the committee on the 2020 election and events leading up to the Jan. 6 riot, according to Tracy Wimmer, a spokesperson for Benson.

(2,580 posts)1. Staggering amount of evidence
pointing to GOP sedition. Patience , it takes time for the lawyers to process this especially while MG rebuilds the DOJ.

But why do those electoral votes have to be represented by actual people? It seems
redundant and it opens the door for human error.
