    They said

    Who is they in this situation? Is it the fake electors themselves? The state governor? The state legislature?

    Is the electoral college like an actual place in Washington where electors gather together and vote for president? Did a bunch of people just show up and say “Oh yeah, we are the electors from Michigan” and everyone just believed them? Is there no way to verify who is the official elector because this has never happened before? Or did this happen not in Washington but somewhere else?

      A group of people in Michigan is the They in the recent story. Several other groups also did it in other states. Basically, they pretended that they were the electors and signed document designed to look like the official document in order to cause confusion for long enough to delay. It was a stall tactic.
