Fake Electors Case Thrown Out | Las Vegas News

A Nevada judge just tossed out forgery charges against six GOP “fake electors” — a major blow to prosecutors and the AG’s effort to hold them accountable for their 2020 stunt. The judge ruled there wasn’t enough proof they intended to defraud anyone, noting their open actions actually worked against that claim — and that prosecutors may have botched the grand jury process by withholding evidence. With an appeal likely taking over a year, the case could drag on past the AG’s term. Lawmakers have tried to close legal loopholes, but the governor vetoed the bills. Prosecutors had to rely on outdated fraud statutes that didn’t fit the situation. These six Republicans staged a ceremony in 2021 signing fake certificates claiming Trump won Nevada — even though Biden had won the popular vote — while legitimate electors cast votes for Biden.
