Maddow mentioned:
We had the paperwork we had the pretend slates of electors as a result of the Republicans who had been concerned within the scheme really despatched them in to the Nationwide Archives which is the place actual electoral votes are imagined to be despatched. You’ll be able to see the true elector paperwork. You’ll be able to see each state does them slightly in another way. All of them come on some number of certificates they’ve their very own quirks, their very own fancy or not fancy paper, decorations and seals that is what the true one appears to be like like.
Have a look at the solid Republican paperwork. They don’t look so fancy. Actually, they match. The identical formatting, identical font, identical spacing and nearly the very same wording on each single one due to the plain similarities between all these solid paperwork from all these totally different states, it actually didn’t appear to be this, the Republicans in all these totally different states, all independently had the identical concept that they’d all commit this type of fraud all in the identical font if that was occurring independently, they’d have all despatched in paperwork kind of totally different or not less than matched what the right format was imagined to appear like of their state. As an alternative, all of them matched from all of the totally different states it gave the impression to be a coordinated effort someone telling all these Republicans in all of the totally different states right here’s what you’ll do. Put your identify right here. The pretend elector scheme, apparently a centrally organized scheme working by way of a number of states.
It wasn’t till the 1/6 Committee was investigating and Maddow hammered away at this over a number of exhibits that the Justice Division determined that they perhaps ought to open an investigation into this fraud.
The Trump marketing campaign didn’t precisely attempt to cover what they had been attempting to tug. They didn’t make a lot of an effort to cowl their tracks, however what they did was towards the legislation. It ought to have been investigated, and it’s an open and shut case.
With out the general public embarrassment of the DOJ by individuals like Rachel Maddow, the investigation might need by no means occurred.
