TL;DR Summary

Andrew Hitt, former chairman of the Wisconsin Republican Party, claims he and other GOP electors were tricked into signing a phony document claiming Trump won Wisconsin in the 2020 election. Hitt says he was pressured by the Trump campaign to sign the document as a contingency in case the election was overturned in court. He admits to feeling scared and coerced into supporting a lawsuit he didn't believe in, and has since cooperated with federal prosecutors and the January 6th committee, maintaining that they were tricked into participating in the scheme.
