Fake Electors Indicted in Nevada, Others Settle in Wisconsin

Six individuals, including GOP party officials, have been indicted by a Nevada grand jury for their involvement in a scheme to submit fake electoral votes in support of Donald Trump during the 2020 presidential election. The charges include offering a false instrument for filing and uttering a forged instrument. Among the indicted individuals is Kenneth Chesebro, a former attorney for Trump.

Similar charges have been filed in Georgia and Michigan, and investigations are ongoing in other states. This marks a significant shift for Nevada's Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford, who had previously not addressed whether he would investigate the fake electors.

In a related development, ten Republicans who posed as fake electors for Trump in Wisconsin have settled a civil lawsuit and admitted their actions were part of an effort to overturn President Joe Biden's victory. As part of the settlement, the fake electors acknowledged that Biden won the state, withdrew their filings, and agreed not to serve as presidential electors in the future. This marks the first time that any Trump electors have revoked their filings sent to Congress purporting that Trump had won in battleground states.

The settlement also requires their full cooperation with any ongoing or future Justice Department probes related to the 2020 election. The settlement was announced by Law Forward, Georgetown University Law Center's Institute for Constitutional Advocacy and Protection, and the Madison-based Stafford Rosenbaum law firm.
