Nessel alleged a “coordinated effort” among Republican parties in several battleground states including Michigan to push so-called alternate slates of electors with fake documents. New Mexico and Pennsylvania Republicans added a caveat saying it was done in case they were later recognized as duly elected, qualified electors. The group includes Republican National Committeewoman Kathy Berden and Meshawn Maddock, co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party. There are complaints pending in Wisconsin alleging that GOP electors in that swing state committed fraud by submitting the false paperwork. In Pennsylvania, Trump electors signed the documents in an office of a Republican marketing consultant two blocks from the state Capitol.
