Overview
- The court ruled 6-0 to reverse a lower-court dismissal, with Justice Kristina Pickering recused.
- Attorney General Aaron Ford said proceedings will resume in Las Vegas, and the separate Carson City filing is expected to be withdrawn to avoid duplicate prosecution.
- President Donald Trump’s recent federal pardons for the six Nevada electors do not affect the state case.
- The defendants — Michael McDonald, Jim Hindle, Jim DeGraffenreid, Jesse Law, Shawn Meehan and Eileen Rice — face two felonies: offering a false instrument for filing and uttering a forged instrument.
- Justices said the offenses were not complete upon mailing from elsewhere because the certificates were delivered to a federal court in Clark County, which supports venue there.
