'Fake electors' will return as Trump officials in key states

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.

Tuchel left with big calls to make after Carsley refresh

No pressure, Thomas. Lee Carsley hands over to Thomas Tuchel promising to give England’s next manager a comprehensive debrief on the three autumn camps but perhaps also elevating expectations. Not so much with the results – promotion in the Nations League was anticipated for a team ranked fourth in the world and who reached the final of Euro 2024 – as with his assessment of England’s prospects for the time covered by Tuchel’s 18-month deal.
