correct, and all stood up to legal challenges and none favored one party over the other. blame Trump for the unforced error for telling his followers not to use the early voting available.
No, many failed to stand against their legal challenge. But, the law is not retroactive. Therefore, the results of the 2020 Presidential Election are what they are.
Double Jeopardy is unConstitutional by the 5th Amendment. Trump was already tried for this by Congress in the 2nd Impeachment and acquitted. He can't be tried again.
Looks like this wouldn't be double jeopardy, according to this 2000 Justice dept memo

We conclude that the Constitution permits a former president to be criminally
prosecuted for the same offenses for which he was impeached by the House and
acquitted by the Senate while in office.
That didn't work, so the next step was the Eastman plan. Raise a false set of electors who were not actually elected, then present them to congress. The 'President of the Senate' would then announce that there were conflicting sets of electors and throw the matter back to the respective statehouses, where the legislatures could choose the fake set. Jeffrey Clark had been tapped to send letters from the DOJ urging the states toss out the votes and name their own electors and Trump attempted to appoint him acting Attorney General for this purpose.
That wasn't quite working out, so the plan was to just have the President of the Senate (Mike Pence) accept the fake electors outright. NOTE: there was no trouble getting volunteers to act as fake electors, and they seem to have signed all the fraudulent documents without any compunction.
Of course, Mike Pence was asked directly to accept the fake electors, and he was reluctant to agree. Trump amped up the pressure and called a meeting at the white house with many people all there to pressure Pence to do his part! Pence was pushing back, and he would not say for certain he would go along with it.
“Had he sent the votes back to the legislatures, they wouldn’t have had a problem with Jan. 6, so in many ways you can blame him for Jan. 6,”
Donald J. Trump
The judge appointed to Trump's case is Judge Tanya Chutkan. She's an Obama appointee, and known to be one of thee toughest sentencers in D.C. She regularly sentenced 1/6 terrorists to max or close to max time in prison
No indictments for inciting anything bc he didn't and they've got nothing, there's everyone's proof this is all BS.
