Michigan judge dismisses charges against Trump’s 2020 electors, ending legal battles.
Donald Trump’s separate slate of electors in the 2020 election have spent years fighting to avoid prison or other serious legal consequences, but they finally won.
The 15 Trump electors, who were labeled “fake electors” by Democrats, will not go to criminal trial over allegations they illegally tried to overturn Joe Biden’s officially announced 2020 win. District Court Judge Kristen D. Simmons announced, “These cases will not be bound over to the circuit court. Each case will be dismissed.”
