Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charged 16 “fake electors” with 8 felonies, including forgery and conspiracy.
The defendants signed certificates falsely claiming Donald Trump won Michigan in the 2020 presidential election.
Washington Post: “The charges stem from a state investigation that is separate from a federal probe by special counsel Jack Smith into attempts to reverse the 2020 results.”
