Nevada Attorney General Refiles Charges Against Fake Electors

Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford has refiled charges against six Republican 'fake electors' in Carson City, following a previous dismissal of the case in Clark County due to jurisdictional issues. The defendants are accused of falsely representing themselves as electors for Donald Trump after the 2020 election and face felony charges for Uttering a Forged Instrument and Offering a False Instrument for Filing. Ford emphasized that the new charges were a preemptive measure to avoid the statute of limitations lapsing, which is set to expire in December 2024. The six individuals include prominent GOP figures like state party chair Michael McDonald and Clark County chair Jesse Law, all of whom have pleaded not guilty. Ford intends to appeal the initial ruling and maintain legal action despite the previous dismissal. The six were part of a group that allegedly sought to undermine the election results by submitting forged electoral votes.
