At least 14 of the 82 electors chosen to represent the Republican Party and pledge their vote to Mr Trump should their state vote that way - are tied to "fake elector" schemes in various states, some currently under criminal prosecution.
Another 16 are election deniers who believe Joe Biden won the presidency in 2020 because of mass fraudulent voting, according to a survey conducted by CNN.
Electors are people closely tied to the Republican or Democratic parties in their state who are nominated, chosen or voted in to represent their state's electorate. Once a state's popular vote determines who they want to win, an elector will cast the state's vote for that candidate in the electoral college. Each state has a predetermined number of electoral votes based on population.
