**Executive Summary**

**Introduction**
This document provides a transcription of a public comment presented by renowned attorney John Eastman during a special meeting on May 14, 2024. The speech primarily focuses on his critical perspective regarding the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election, highlighting various alleged irregularities and unconstitutional actions that Eastman argues could have affected the election outcome.

**Key Points**
Eastman articulates the constitutional framework governing the selection of presidential electors, emphasizing that state legislatures exclusively hold the authority to decide the manner of selecting these electors. He claims that deviations from these laws, such as changes enforced by state officials or court rulings during the election process, rendered the election invalid. He presents specific examples from states like Wisconsin and Georgia, where he argues that illegal actions such as the reduction of signature verifications and the improper use of drop boxes contributed to fraudulent voting practices.

**Conclusion**
The concluding remarks by Eastman call for a revival of civic engagement and vigilance among citizens to ensure fair electoral processes and maintain the integrity of democratic governance. He encourages individuals to recognize the importance of these issues in preserving freedom and democracy for future generations, framing his arguments within a broader context of historical struggles for liberty.
