Declining Interest in Fake Trump Electors Raises Questions
Many Republican electors who cast votes for Donald Trump in the 2020 election are now facing criminal investigations and charges, leading to a decrease in enthusiasm and willingness to serve as fake electors for Trump in the future. Over the past few months, 25 of the 84 electors have been charged with felonies, while others have agreed not to serve as electors in any election where Trump is on the ballot. The investigations and potential legal consequences have created a deterrent for future Trump electors, especially with the tightening of federal laws surrounding the counting of electoral college votes. However, despite the potential challenges, there is still expected to be no shortage of volunteers for the job if Trump secures the GOP nomination in 2024.
