"Former Wisconsin GOP Chair Tricked into Signing Fake Elector Plan, Fearing Trump Supporters"

Former Wisconsin Republican Party Chairman Andrew Hitt revealed that he and nine other Republican electors were tricked into signing documents falsely claiming Donald Trump won the state in the 2020 election, despite his loss. Hitt said he was advised to do so as a contingency in case Trump's legal team won its lawsuit seeking to dismiss over 200,000 votes in two Democratic counties. The scheme, part of a plan to overturn the election, involved fake electors in multiple states and was orchestrated by pro-Trump attorneys with Trump's support. Hitt, who cooperated with the Jan. 6 committee and federal prosecutors, believes they were tricked and settled a civil lawsuit against them by some of the state's Democratic electors.
