State’s attorney general charged the fake electors with two felonies each, with penalties up to five years in prison
Six Republicans who cast fake electoral votes for Donald Trump in Nevada in 2020 were charged with two felonies each by the state’s attorney general on Wednesday.
The Democratic attorney general Aaron Ford announced the charges, saying a grand jury had decided to charge the six fake electors with “offering a false instrument for filing” and “uttering a forged instrument” for sending documents claiming to be the state’s electors.
Fake electors in Georgia and Michigan have already been charged, while others of the seven states with similar schemes are still investigating the issue.
