The ‘fake electors’ and their role in the 2020 election, explained – The Washington Post

I don’t pay attention to minutiae sometimes, but here’s something relevant:

«In the 1960 presidential election, the results in Hawaii were too close to call. Richard M. Nixon was leading John F. Kennedy in the state by just 140 votes, and there was a recount of the whole state. The recount was ongoing as Republican electors met in the state to cast their votes for Nixon, and Democratic electors met and cast their votes for Kennedy, in case he was declared the winner. (He eventually was.)

Legal experts say there is a major difference between what happened then and in 2020: The results in Hawaii were legitimately in question, while Trump’s legal challenges had already been dismissed or soon would be.»
