Quote:Republicans in six states won by Biden held their own electoral college-style votes Monday for Trump — hoping that future court decisions would throw out Biden’s votes and count the GOP ones instead.
These votes have no legal meaning, according to election law experts. The law recognizes only votes from electors chosen according to state law — and in every one of these states, those are the Democratic electors.
But many Republicans who had been chosen to cast electoral votes for Trump still gathered to cast them. They said they were employing a tactic used by Democrats in Hawaii in an election 60 years ago — casting votes that don’t count, in the hopes that a later court decision would give them force.
This year, that seems very unlikely to work.

Quote:As Washington state elector Jack Arends registered his vote for President-elect Joe Biden on Monday, his voice cracked with emotion. Then, Arends, 64, told the chamber that a doctor last month had diagnosed him with an untreatable, terminal condition.
“[In] November I was told there is no more medical treatment that can help me so it was important for me to do this one thing that I could do while I still can,” said Arends, who wore a black beret reading, “Play Nice.”
After his speech, Arends placed his microphone on the desk, crossed his arms over his face and sobbed breathlessly as another elector came to his side to comfort him.

That’s both informative and sad.
I still find it rather funny that Ms. Osiecki’s response to what she views as a fraudulent election is to commit what is very likely election fraud.
