Electoral College Finalizes Trump's 2024 Victory, Including Votes From 2020 'Fake Electors'
Thirteen Republicans who participated in the 2020 false elector scheme, some facing criminal charges, cast official votes for Trump in battleground states.
- Thirteen Republicans who signed false certifications in 2020, claiming Trump won their states, cast legitimate Electoral College votes for him in 2024.
- These electors, from Michigan, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, include individuals facing felony charges related to the 2020 scheme, though some cases are ongoing or dismissed.
- Michigan's six 'fake-turned-real' electors are under felony forgery charges, with a judge yet to decide if their cases will proceed to trial.
- Nevada's state attorney general recently refiled charges against two electors after a previous dismissal, while Pennsylvania's electors were not charged due to hedged language in their 2020 certifications.
- Trump is projected to receive 312 electoral votes, with Congress set to officially count the votes on January 6, 2025, ahead of his January 20 inauguration.
