A 2020 meeting of GOP Georgia electors is central in the case against Donald Trump and others accused of conspiring to overturn Joe Biden's electoral win.
It was a bad place to keep a secret. When Republicans gathered on Dec. 14, 2020, claiming to be legitimate electors casting the state's 16 electoral votes for Donald Trump, they met at the Georgia Capitol in a room just upstairs from the building's public entrance. A Trump campaign official asked for the electors' “complete discretion,” telling them to say only that they were meeting with two state senators who were there.
The Republican governor had days earlier certified Biden as Georgia's winner for a second time after a recount. Sinners, the Trump official, printed new elector certificates on a noisy portable printer. The racket of the machine gave the meeting a mundane, bureaucratic feel in an unadorned space usually set aside for state lawmakers to host constituents. One by one, the 16 Republicans were called.
