The Fake Elector Playbook

IF THIS WERE A WHODUNIT NOVEL, its two main suspects would be Kenneth Chesebro, the mastermind of the fake elector conspiracy, and Stefanie Lambert, a mysterious lawyer who was involved in the conspiracy in multiple states. But this is not fiction…

This is the playbook that was developed in 2020. It describes the strategy of alternate electors, which was just one of the schemes operating in 2020 to try to avoid the peaceful transfer of power; a scheme resting upon the ambiguity and vagueness that exists in the federal, state, and local rules controlling the election process.

This ambiguity and vagueness also gave rise to the various other election-denying strategies after the 2020 election. The now infamous Eastman memos that outlined those plans were developed by Chesebro. Both men met with Trump to authorize a strategy that not only clearly violated electoral law, but also endorsed the fake electors in their criminal activity.

Moskowitz, a veteran lawyer, turned writer and commentator, explains it all here with his trademark clarity and intelligence.
