ICAP and Law Forward represent Wisconsin taxpayers, voters, and presidential electors in a lawsuit against the fraudulent electors and their co-conspirators who sought to have their votes for Trump and Pence counted on January 6 instead of the votes of the legitimate presidential electors whose ballots represented the will of the Wisconsin voters. Access emails, texts, photos and videos about the fraudulent electors’ scheme here, obtained as part of the settlement of our litigation against Wisconsin Trump campaign attorney James Troupis, legal adviser Kenneth Chesebro, and the 10 Trump-Pence electors in Wisconsin.
