Pro-Trump Groups Forged Election Documents Saying He Won Arizona, Michigan – By Darragh Roche (Newsweek) / January 11, 2022
Groups supporting former President Donald Trump in Arizona and Michigan sent fake documents to the National Archives falsely showing that he had won those states’ Electoral College votes.
Forged certificates of ascertainment were sent to the National Archives by pro-Trump groups in each state in December 2020. The document from Arizona bore the state seal and legal action was taken against those responsible.
Certificates of ascertainment identify how a state’s electors have cast their votes in the presidential election and the faked documents show Trump and then Vice President Mike Pence winning the slates of electors in both states.
