Technically the state charges may be different and it might possibly not constitute double jeopardy, but I donāt think theyāll go down that road. Not a lawyer, but if the it's a federal charge, I think it's possible to be charged and tried for the same crime in state and federal court. Though I agree, it's unlikely the state is going to do the same thing as Jack Smith is already doing.Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5-Points 3,535 Posted April 25, 2024 1 hour ago, Ron_Artest said: In layman terms... In 2016 democratic electors from 2 states asked the Republican electors not to vote for Trump, knowing full well that they would anyway. In 2020, Republicans from 7 states forged legal documents saying that they actually won the election, against the will of the voters, and they they were going to DC to elect Trump.Ā This was an illegal attempt to commit fraud and steal an election.Ā All these people, dozens of them, are now being indicted for their crimes. For idiots like you, it the same thing, and anyone that thinks differently has TDS. You've lost your mind.

No smart person is going to see him catch more indictments and say to themselves, "Welp Trump has my vote now".Ā And since Trump is fighting and delaying all these cases, he knows that they hurt him.Ā He doesn't want to charged.Ā He's terrified of going to jail.Ā Such nonsense. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 6,799 Posted April 25, 2024 Quote The āfake electorsā scheme involved alternate electors from seven states where Joe Biden was declared the winner. These electors pledged to support President Trump by casting ballots on Dec. 14, 2020, the date when electors nationwide were required to meet at state capitols to vote. While labeled āfake electors,ā they viewed themselves as contingent electors. They believed they were putting in a procedural vote for President Trump to reserve the right of such a vote in the case of President Trump succeeding in legal challenges reviewing the integrity of the stateās election outcome, adding that it was important to recognize that, āConstitution takes precedent over statute.ā For what it's worth.Ā Here is a link which talks more about "contingent electors" and their historical precedence: https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/pennsylvania-georgia-nevada-and-arizona-republican-electors-cast-votes-for-trump-3618147 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also if you want to compare AP and Epoch Times, I like Ad Fontes media. They do a thorough job of scoring bias and use a multi scoring system, not just right or left. They grade multiple articles and produce a cool scatter plot. More transparent than a simple right or left. You can also filter to find another news source that you might want to follow. https://adfontesmedia.com/interactive-media-bias-chart/ You can see they have AP in the Middle or Balanced quadrant with good reliability. Epoch Times falls into Strong Right, almost Hyper Partisan right, and well below the reliability scale on the border of propaganda.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
