Then-President Donald Trump’s campaign directly orchestrated the filing of a certificate, signed by 16 Michigan Republicans, that falsely claimed he won the state’s 2020 election, according to internal campaign emails obtained by The Detroit News.
The emails conflicted with the public comments of Michigan Republican leaders who said the false electors certificate was merely an attempt to give Trump a chance if the courts eventually overturned the election.
While the strategy of interfering with states’ certified results was unsuccessful in 2020, it could return for a future election. Michigan will have three statewide elections this year.

I didn’t even know this happened.
So trump straight up tried to steal the election by mailing false certificates claiming he won the vote in states he lost in?
And trump tried to trick the national archives by mailing in his counterfeit certificates before the legitimate certificates arrived?
An I getting this right?
Edit; Yes, I’m getting this right, this is crazy as hell:

At least Arizona and Michigan actually mailed in the fake certificates, although fake certificates were supposed to be forged in seven states that trump lost in order to trick the national archives into believing trump won.
The judge: “that doesn’t look like anything to me”
Trump and company should be swinging already.
