Some of Trump's 2020 'fake' electors from Pennsylvania are back again this year. They say they're prepared to do it again.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : They will join a group of 14 others chosen by their state party to gather in Harrisburg on Dec. 17 and cast Pennsylvania's 19 electoral votes for Trump should he emerge the election's victor -- and, perhaps, even if he doesn't.
43% : Jondavid Longo -- the mayor of Slippery Rock, in Western Pennsylvania, who spoke at the Butler rally where Trump was nearly assassinated this summer -- is serving as an elector for the former president for the first time this year.
41% : Still, Trump's returning presidential electors in Pennsylvania are quick to distinguish themselves.
29% : And safeguards that stopped Trump and his allies from succeeding that year remain in place.
25% : In 2020, Pence ultimately refused to credit the slates put forward by Trump and his allies, but the former president had hoped to pressure the vice president into doing so.
25% : "But Muller expressed confidence that any move by Trump and his allies to submit alternate slates this year will prove as unsuccessful as it did in 2020.
24% : Trump has already repeated false claims of election fraud on the campaign trail and signaled his intention to contest the results should he lose in November.
14% : But with Trump again signaling he is prepared to contest the election results should he lose, experts say the inclusion of roughly a dozen figures from 2020's fake elector plot on GOP slates from battleground states this year still gives cause for concern.
13% : As Trump and his allies sought to stop congressional certification of President Joe Biden's victory four years ago with baseless claims of widespread fraud, they turned to GOP electors from Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, New Mexico, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania to falsely attest to Congress that he'd won.
