Nevada Attorney General Files New Charges Against Six Republicans in 2020 Fake Elector Case
The charges, revived in Carson City after a prior dismissal, aim to address alleged forgery in declaring Trump the 2020 winner despite his Nevada loss.
- Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford refiled felony forgery charges against six Republicans accused of submitting false electoral documents in 2020.
- The charges were moved to Carson City after a Clark County judge dismissed the original case over jurisdictional issues earlier this year.
- The defendants, including prominent state GOP figures, allegedly signed and submitted fake certificates declaring Trump the winner despite his 33,596-vote loss in Nevada.
- The case is part of a broader investigation into similar schemes in other battleground states, including Georgia, Michigan, and Arizona.
- Ford emphasized the importance of pursuing justice to uphold election integrity, while defense attorneys dismissed the charges as politically motivated.
