Another of the 16 electors, Michele Lundgren, said she was distraught over the charges and she questioned what evidence prosecutors had.

The 73-year-old Detroiter said she had simply received a call on Dec. 13, 2020, to be in Lansing the following day. While there, Lundgren signed what she thought was a sign-in sheet, she said.

“We signed a blank piece of paper," Lundgren said. "And that’s all can tell you."

This is going to be a super entertaining trial

does she do whatever the phone says? If I were to call her and ask for $10,000 she'd pay me?

Well she is the prime demographic for phone scams... so yeah, probably.
