The fake elector's scheme is not free speech under anyone's definition. It was one of Trump's attempts to overthrow the election.

b. The Defendant and co-conspirators organized fraudulent slates of electors in seven targeted states (Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin), attempting to mimic the procedures that the legitimate electors were supposed to follow under the Constitution and other federal and state laws. This included causing the fraudulent electors to meet on the day appointed by federal law on which legitimate electors were to gather and cast their votes; cast fraudulent votes for the Defendant; and sign certificates falsely representing that they were legitimate electors. Some fraudulent electors were tricked into participating based on the understanding that their votes would be used only if the Defendant succeeded in outcome-determinative lawsuits within their state, which the Defendant never did. The Defendant and co-conspirators then caused these fraudulent electors to transmit their false certificates to the Vice President and other government officials to be counted at the certification proceeding on January 6.

The common act of alternate electors is something we see every election, but people have been tricked into thinking it is something nefarious.

If they had won any election correcting court ruling or Pence had allowed the electoral count debate on objecting to electors, then there would be no correction without a slate of alternate electors at the ready, waiting. I don't think Pence had the ability to do anything but hold a informative debate, but I also don't see a reason to have the ability to object to electors, unless they can be disqualified. Normally, electors are then replaced with alternatives.

It is a dumb and vague system, that was poorly defined and established, but at least it was an attempt at checks-and-balances.

Now that it is removed, there is no possibility to correct a US election in the event of wide-spread provable fraud, even if election commissions were forced to cooperate.

lol you libtards sincerely ignore all the poll watchers getting kicked out, the windows being covered up, the suitcases that ballot counters were brining in, stopping the counts in the middle of the night, the delivery vans at 4am, the security camera footage showing ballots being counted multiple times, the counters fraudulently spoiling trump ballots, the list goes on
