The Republican National Committee (RNC) has sparked significant controversy by selecting fake electors who falsely attested that Donald Trump won their respective states in the 2020 election to make the former president’s nomination official at the upcoming Republican National Convention.
According to reports by Mediaite on Thursday, July 11, 2024, this decision, reported by CNN on Wednesday, has further highlighted the ongoing tension within the GOP regarding Trump’s claims of a rigged election and his continued influence over the party. Several of these electors are currently facing criminal charges for their roles in Trump’s scheme.
Following his electoral defeat, Trump persistently claimed that the election was fraudulent. He attempted to pressure Republican officials in key battleground states to overturn the results. Central to this effort were pro-Trump electors who signed official documents, falsely claiming to be the legitimate electors from their states.
This campaign of misinformation and attempted subversion of the democratic process ultimately led to the January 6 Capitol riot, where a mob of Trump’s supporters violently attempted to disrupt the certification of the Electoral College results.
The RNC has chosen electors from Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, and Wisconsin to serve as delegates, committee members, or alternates at next week’s convention. These individuals will cast the votes that will make Trump the Republican nominee.
According to the CNN report, “Their role underscores how Trump has effectively woven election denialism into the GOP’s platform. It also marks an about-face for a party that, at least in the immediate aftermath of the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol, sought to distance itself from Trump and his efforts to stay in power.”
Trump is currently under federal indictment for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results. Additionally, he faces charges in Georgia for his efforts to alter the outcome in that state. However, recent developments have complicated these legal battles. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court ruled that former presidents have absolute immunity from official acts they perform, a decision that could jeopardize both cases against Trump.
The court did not delineate between official and unofficial acts. The majority opinion stated that when Trump urged his vice president to refuse to certify the election results as the presiding officer in Congress, he was acting in his official capacity and therefore enjoys presumptive immunity.
The RNC’s decision to involve individuals implicated in Trump’s election subversion efforts reflects a broader trend within the Republican Party. In the immediate aftermath of January 6, many GOP leaders sought to distance themselves from Trump, criticizing his attempts to cling to power.
However, as Trump remains a dominant figure within the party, his narrative of a stolen election has gained traction among the Republican base. The selection of these fake electors signifies how deeply entrenched this narrative has become in the GOP’s identity and strategy.
This move is likely to fuel further debate and division within the party and the broader political landscape. Critics argue that it undermines the integrity of the democratic process and legitimizes baseless claims of election fraud.
Supporters, however, view it as a reaffirmation of Trump’s leadership and a commitment to addressing their concerns about election security. As the Republican National Convention approaches, the decision to include these electors underscores the enduring impact of Trump’s presidency on the party and American politics at large.
