You pay attention...I'm not talking about what the electors did...I'm talking about what democrats asked them to do.

What the electors did, and what democrats asked them to do, wwre two very different things.

Democrats did two separate and distinct things, in an effort to overturn the election. That their efforts ultimately failed, doesn't mean that's not what they were trying to do.

(1) they asked electors to not vote for the winner of the election (Trump). This necessarily means they were asking the electors to change the outcome of the election.

(2) house democrats challenged the election results in some states, in fact they challenged more states than the two states they GOP challenged in 2020.

From wikipedia...

"The faithless electors who opposed Donald Trump were part of a movement dubbed the Hamilton Electors co-founded by Micheal Baca of Colorado and Bret Chiafalo of Washington. The movement attempted to find 37 Republican electors willing to vote for a different Republican in an effort to deny Donald Trump a majority in the Electoral College and force a contingent election in the House of Representatives"
