Inside the meeting of Republican electors who sought to thwart Biden’s election win in Georgia

When Republicans gathered on December 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. “Your duties are imperative to ensure the end result — a win in Georgia for President Trump — but will be hampered unless we have complete secrecy and discretion," Robert Sinners wrote in an email uncovered by investigators.
