However, the corporate outlets all missed the real story. The electors\u2019 testimony failed to incriminate anyone, including Trump, and the county prosecutors engaged in massive misconduct. Equally appalling, however, was the corrupt media\u2019s continued peddling of the \u201cfake electors\u201d narrative.<\/p>\n<h3> There Were No &#8220;Fake&#8221; Electors <\/h3>\n<p>There were no \u201cfake\u201d electors. There were contingent Republican electors named consistent with legal precedent to preserve the still <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-more-votes-than-voters-in-key-swing-states\/\" title=\"Trump: More Votes Than Voters in Key Swing States\">ongoing legal challenges<\/a> to the validity of Georgia\u2019s certified vote. Nor was appointing an alternative slate of electors some cockamamie plan devised by Trump lawyers. <\/p>\n<h3> The Hawaii Scenario in 1960 Mirrors the Facts on the Ground in Georgia on Dec. 14, 2020 <\/h3>\n<p>The Hawaii scenario in 1960 mirrors in every material respect the facts on the ground in Georgia on Dec. 14, 2020 \u2014 the date both the Democrat and Republican presidential electors met and cast their 16 electoral votes for Joe Biden and Donald Trump respectively.<\/p>\n<h3> Here&#8217;s What Happened in Hawaii Six-0 <\/h3>\n<p>Election day in 1960 fell on Nov. 8 and pitted Kennedy, a Democrat, against Republican Richard Nixon. The outcome remained unknown for some time, with a total of 93 electoral votes from eight different states undecided in the days following the election. Hawaii was one of those states.<\/p>\n<p>By Dec. 9 of that year, Kennedy had accumulated enough electoral votes to win the White House, but Hawaii\u2019s winner was still in question. While the presidency did not depend on Hawaii\u2019s three electoral votes, Democrats there had challenged the initial returns that gave Nixon a 141-vote edge, or 0.08 percent margin of victory.<\/p>\n<h3> The Peach State Repeat <\/h3>\n<p>The Georgia situation in 2020 mirrored the events of 60 years ago in Hawaii. Election day in 2020 fell on Nov. 3, although by then many ballots had already been cast, given the adoption of mass mail-in and early voting. Trump held a lead in Georgia until the morning of Friday, Nov. 6, when Biden overtook the incumbent.<\/p>\n<h3> The Question Now is Whether Willis Will Charge Shafer and Others with Fake Crimes <\/h3>\n<p>Now you know the rest of the story. There were no fake electors. The question now is whether Willis will charge Shafer and others with fake crimes.<\/p>\n<h3> About the Author <\/h3>\n<p>Margot Cleveland is The Federalist&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-facts-on-trumps-lawsuit-against-hillary-clinton-the-dnc-and-more\/\" title=\"The Facts on Trump\u2019s Lawsuit Against Hillary Clinton, the DNC, and More\">senior legal correspondent<\/a>.
