Nevada Judge Dismisses Case Against False Electors in 2020 Election
Nevada case against false electors dismissed due to wrong jurisdiction. State plans to appeal immediately.
A Nevada judge has made a decision concerning the case against six false electors who declared former President Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election. Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus ruled that the state had filed the case in the wrong jurisdiction, according to the state attorney general's office. The state's top prosecutor has confirmed that an appeal will be made immediately.
Indictment and Charges
The judge's decision follows a grand jury indictment in December, which charged six Republicans as part of a probe into the 2020 presidential election. Nevada State Party GOP chair Michael McDonald and vice chair and national committeeman Jim DeGraffenreid were among those charged. Both individuals had appeared before a criminal grand jury investigating the Capitol riot.
Other States' Involvement
Similar incidents involving fake electors have occurred in other battleground states such as Michigan and Georgia. Earlier this month, three men in Wisconsin were charged in connection with a fake electors scheme aimed at keeping Trump in office. Additionally, a state grand jury in Arizona indicted former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani and other Trump aides, along with a series of false electors, in connection with an investigation into alleged efforts to overturn Joe Biden's electoral victory in that state in 2020.
