For this episode of Trump's Trials, NPR voting rights correspondent Hansi Lo Wang takes a look at fake electors returning for the 2024 election.
Four years ago, what have been known as "fake electors" gathered in seven mainly swing states where Trump lost the popular vote to sign certificates that became part of a scheme by the former president and his allies to try to overturn the election results.
This year's return of some of these Republicans as potential electors — confirmed in recent weeks through party filings to state election officials — raises questions about what they will do if Trump loses in their states again.
