The January 6th Report: A reading of Chapter 2.1 - The Electoral College, and President Trump's Attempt to Subvert It

President Trump and his advisors tried different ways to change the outcome of the election in different states. They pressured local and State elections officials to stop counting votes once it became clear that former Vice President Joseph Biden would prevail in the final count.
