From CNN:
The January 6 Select Committee has issued subpoenas for 14 Republicans from seven states who served on bogus slates of Trump electors in 2020 as part of the Trump campaign’s scheme to subvert the Electoral College.
The GOP leaders from the states served as “Chair” and “Secretary” on the slates of fake electors designed to be alternates should Republicans succeed in denying the certifications of the actual electoral votes that were won by Joe Biden.
14 subpoenas in total were issued:
BREAKING: The Jan. 6 committee has subpoenaed 14 of the illegitimate GOP "electors" who attempted to submit their names to Congress in Dec. 2020.
The panel wants to know who helped coordinate the effort.

This breaks down to two per state and it looks like they are going after GOP officials in these states and not just random Republicans who might have signed on as the alternative electors:

Others include several current RNC committee members like Kathy Berden and James DeGraffenreid, and former GOP chairs like Andrew Hitt and Deborah Maestas. https://t.co/taPj9dZLvX

Michigan Secretary of State @JocelynBenson told us it’s possible some of the GOP faithful were duped by party or campaign leaders into legally exposing themselves by signing false documents. https://t.co/taPj9dZLvX

“It’s heartbreaking to see individuals who were lied to and perhaps acted in furtherance of those lies put themselves in a position where they could potentially be legally culpable,” @JocelynBenson said. https://t.co/taPj9dZLvX

And it sounds like they want to know who, if anyone, in Trump’s orbit pushed them to do this:
In the letters, Committee says "We are not seeking information about your political views or your efforts in the 2020… campaign more generally. Rather, we are seeking information about your role & participation in the purported slate of electors casting votes for Donald Trump" pic.twitter.com/nJ8XotwRg6

Subpoenas (more): "You were a purported Electoral College elector who met with other purported electors..to cast votes for former President Trump & former VP Pence despite the fact that your state had made a final determination that Joseph Biden & Kamala Harris were the winners"
