Politico reports:
A little-known Donald Trump campaign operative delivered lists of false electors to Capitol Hill in a bid to get them to Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6, 2021, according to two people familiar with the episode.
Mike Roman, then Trump’s 2020 director of Election Day operations, delivered those false elector certificates — signed by pro-Trump activists in Michigan and Wisconsin — to Rep. Mike Kelly’s (R-Pa.) chief of staff at the time, both people told POLITICO.
Kelly was a Trump ally in the effort to overturn the 2020 election, and his then-top aide received the documents from Roman before deputizing a colleague to disseminate copies on Capitol Hill, according to both people.

Kelly’s chief of staff at the time delivered those lists to the office of Sen. Ron Johnson, who sought to arrange a handoff to Pence. But Pence’s staff rejected the effort. Pence had already decided not to introduce alternate electors anyway. https://t.co/YODnCenQEO
