Commentary
After the 2020 presidential election, my Epoch Times columns summarized actions state legislatures could take in states with disputed results. When asked to do so, I also summarized those options directly to interested state lawmakers. Last week, a leftist website distorted this into a claim that I “guided” private citizens to represent themselves as presidential electors without legislative authorization.
