During the last election several states like Pennsylvania changed their voting rules w/o using legislation, which is illegal but they used Covid as an excuse to change it anyway. Other states sued them but were told they had no standing until after an election. Once the election had happened they sued again with standing, but were told by the court that there was nothing they could do since the election had already been held. As is the president’s job (official duty), Trump told his team to investigate the situation and determine if it was legally justifiable. Trumps conclusion was that the electoral college should simply not count votes from the states in dispute about electioneering rules or have alternate electors who disqualified any ballots that came in under the new rule changes, which was an idea that the left didn’t like at all. Vice president Mike Pence was the final authority for counting or not counting those votes in question and Jan6 was the result of him deciding to count them(partly).
Well… that certainly sounds like a mess
Nah, this is an extremely biased retelling.
The truth is they tried to sow enough chaos that their VP and senators could just throw up their hands and say 'there is no clear winner' and in that case house delegation would've decided the election - where they had a slight majority.
So basically they got people who lied about them being the official state delegation from 7 states, they forged documents stating this and sent it to DC. This and the protest could theoretically pressure the senators/Pence into not certifying the election.
None of this is denied btw. All of it is well-documented. We have the lawyer who orchestrated it on record telling this is what they were doing.

Why let something like evidence or the truth get in a way of a good story
