They're accused of submitting fake electoral college certificates in seven states.
the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and surrounding circumstances announced on Friday that it had issued subpoenas to"14 individuals who participated as 'alternate electors' for former President Trump."
The committee said it has obtained information that groups of individuals met on Dec. 14, 2020, in seven states carried by then-President-elect Joe Biden, then submitted bogus slates of Electoral College votes for President Donald Trump. In the modern era, electors"are supposed to now be almost like computers and mechanically do the bidding of the popular vote" in their states, Edward Foley, a law professor at Ohio State University and the director of the school's election law program, told ABC News.
Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said in an interview earlier this week that prosecutors in the Justice Department are evaluating criminal referrals regarding the fake Electoral College certifications that sought to declare Trump the winner in states he actually lost to Biden. In investigating exactly what happened on and around Jan. 6, the select committee also intends to protect democracy from future attacks over a falsely disputed election, especially, Democrats say, because Trump has suggested he will run in 2024.
