Michigan fake elector admits being ‘duped’ by Trump lawyer.

Michigan‌ Woman Claims She‍ Was “Duped” into Becoming a Fake‍ Elector for Trump

One of the 16 people indicted in Michigan for acting as a fake elector for former President Donald Trump is now claiming she was “duped” by a lawyer for the former president. Michele Lundgren, a 73-year-old photographer from Detroit, volunteered to be a Trump delegate​ and elector in case he won the state. However, she ended up becoming a fake Trump elector and now faces up to 80 years in prison.

In an interview with WDIV, a local news station in Michigan, Lundgren revealed‌ that she received a call in December asking her to come to the state Republican Party headquarters. She was told that‍ she would be signing a certificate swearing that Trump had won the election. However, she now alleges that everyone was asked‌ to sign a notecard as a way to sign into the meeting, and their signatures were later lifted and placed⁤ on the document in question.

“We signed a sign-in sheet with our names. It fits right into the real electoral ballot,” Lundgren explained.

Lundgren​ claims that the lawyer ⁤who instructed them to walk to the capitol was Ian Northon, who she believes “duped” her ‌into thinking she was doing ⁢the right thing.

“I was an ‍innocent little bystander in this whole⁢ thing, thinking I was doing my civic duty,” Lundgren said.

However, the Democratic ‌Michigan Attorney General, Dana Nessel,‌ disputes Lundgren’s claims. Nessel’s office has ⁣evidence that the 16 electors knew what ​they were doing and intentionally signed on as fake electors to undermine democracy and declare Trump as the winner of Michigan.

“The false electors’ actions undermined the public’s faith in the ⁣integrity of our elections and, we believe, also plainly violated the laws ⁣by which we administer our elections in Michigan,” Nessel stated.
