(206,837 posts)But they know who they are - they all signed the forged documents, pretending to be the legitimate electors! And in one state, they showed up in person so they could vote (but they weren't let in)!

(206,837 posts)Same thing happened to me a couple of years back. I stopped at the bank and took out some money, then stopped at a nearby station where I usually got gas. I paid with a $20 that I'd just gotten at the bank, then went to get in my car, when the clerk I'd just paid followed me out, handed me my $20 and asked if I had another one, which I did and that was it. Turns out the $20 I gave her was from 1951(!) and didn't have the usual watermark so she was suspicious. The difference was that I knew the clerk and it was one blonde woman to another.

(13,666 posts)their own and submitting those? Why? There had to be a plan in place, and they thought they knew it would work and they would be protected. I don't think there will be much trouble finding out who masterminded this one. Should be fun.

Thank you for posting!

(206,837 posts)Are immediately sent to jail - while these people (in SEVEN states now) falsely claimed to be electors, even signed their names to these forged documents, yet there still have been no repercussions.
