11. I do not understand the legal reasoning behind this decision.

The judge reportedly said that prosecutors failed to demonstrate any intent (of fraud) by the fake electors. Didn’t they willingly sign a document that they knew was fraudulent?

I suppose the argument is that they didn’t know it was fraudulent, because people were (on the basis of flimsy evidence that was in fact bullshit) maintaining that TSF had won the vote in our state. It’s really disappointing that the judge bought this line of rubbish.
