A Republican who signed on to be one of Donald Trump's Pennsylvania electors told NBC10 there was a general consensus among the Pennsylvania Trump electors that conditional language needed to be there. LaurenJMayk reports.
The indictment says in Pennsylvania, Trump electors expressed “concern about signing certificates representing themselves as legitimate electors” and that an unnamed co-conspirator “falsely assured them that their certificates would be used only if” Trump succeeded in litigation. Another unnamed co-conspirator allegedly proposed some conditional language to be used in the Pennsylvania certificates.
According to the indictment, a campaign official “cautioned not to offer the conditional language to other states because ‘[t]he other States are signing what he prepared - if it gets out we changed the language for PA it could snowball.’”Gerow also said he doesn’t think the case against the former president is strong, and that “it runs right up against the First Amendment of the Constitution.”
Because then President-elect Joe Biden won Pennsylvania in 2020, electors supporting him gathered in Harrisburg on Dec. 14, 2020 to cast their votes. That same day, the Republican Party of Pennsylvania put out a news release announcing the Trump electors had also met “at the request of the Trump campaign” to cast what it called a “conditional vote.
