Daily News | Emails highlight lieutenant governor candidate Russ Diamond’s coordination with Trump efforts to overturn Pa.’s 2020 vote
Having failed to gain traction in their efforts to challenge Pennsylvania’s 2020 election results in court, President Donald Trump and his allies in the state considered an even more audacious proposal to reverse the outcome of the state’s vote, newly released emails show.
Citing baseless concerns over the state’s mail voting procedures, Eastman suggested that GOP legislators could simply make up new vote totals that would declare Trump the victor by applying a mathematical formula — based on absentee ballot rejection rates from prior elections ― to subtract votes from then-candidate Joe Biden.
Previously released memos and documents have shown that Eastman was one of the primary advocates for the legal argument that Vice President Mike Pence could unilaterally set aside congressional certification of Biden’s Electoral College victory — a notion Pence ultimately rejected.
