The 2020 US Presidential Election was marred by controversy and attempts to overturn the results, as revealed in newly released emails and text messages. Kenneth Chesebro, a conservative lawyer, proposed a plan to James R. Troupis, a former judge working for the Trump campaign in Wisconsin, to challenge the election results through litigation and claim “systemic abuses” to install pro-Trump electors.
Chesebro’s emails and memos, uncovered as part of a settlement of a lawsuit filed against him and Troupis, shed light on the inner workings of the Trump campaign’s efforts to challenge the election results. The plan involved creating a “cloud of confusion” in swing states like Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, in hopes of throwing the election to the House of Representatives.
The documents also detail how Chesebro worked to distribute false elector documents to members of Congress and celebrated the events leading up to the violent storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. The settlement of the lawsuit revealed that the fake elector plot originated in Wisconsin and was orchestrated by Troupis and Chesebro.
Despite the settlement, Troupis maintains that he did nothing wrong and was simply representing his client vigorously within the bounds of the law. The memos penned by Chesebro were central to the federal indictment of Donald J. Trump on charges of seeking to overturn the election through illegal means.
The details of the settlement highlight the lengths to which some individuals went to try to change the outcome of the election and the role they played in stoking the chaos that ensued. The emails and messages provide a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes machinations of a campaign determined to hold on to power at all costs.
