Were these "fake" electors present that day, and did anyone try to force them in to cast their "fake" votes?
No to both. They had the paperwork ready to go as alternate slates available if needed. (Same thing that was done in Jan 1961 with Kennedy/Nixon.)
John Eastman, the respected Con Law professor, was the one who researched how the Electoral Count Act was invoked and used historically and saw the use of alternate slates of electors historically. Eastman was correct, of course nd that's why the Dems amended the Electoral Count Act after Jan 6th. (It is still unconstitutional, but I digress.)
But just these allegations were sufficient to take Eastman down, lost his job and his law license, not mention a crap ton of money in defense fees.
