Fake Georgia electors attempt to move election interference cases to federal court
- Three Georgia Republicans charged with participating in a scheme to keep Trump in power argue their case should be moved from state to federal court.
- Moving the cases could result in a broader jury pool and prevent cameras at trial, but would not open the door for future presidential pardons.
- The defendants claim they were acting as contingent U.S. presidential electors, while prosecutors say they impersonated genuine electors.
- A federal judge has already rejected a similar request from Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows.
- Legal experts believe the electors have no authority and their requests to move the cases should be dismissed.
