Former President Donald Trump’s GOP electors in Pa. weren’t willing to go all the way in the Jan. 2021 bid to overturn election results, a report says.

Former President Donald Trump’s GOP electors in Pa. weren’t willing to go all the way in the January 2021 bid by the ex-president’s campaign to overturn election results in as many as seven so-called “swing states.”, the bid in Pennsylvania hit a snag because the state’s GOP electors hedged the language on their elector ballot certificates to say they’d cast their votes for Trump “only if his election challenges succeeded in the courts.

As a result of the softer wording on the fake ballots, Trump electors in those two states are likely to be spared the legal trouble potentially facing their counterparts in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin, Lancasteronline reports in its detailed account. By contrast, Trump supporters in the five other states used identical language that outright declared themselves “the duly elected and qualified electors,” Lancasteronline reports.
