Michigan Judge Dismisses Charges Against Fake Electors in 2020 Election Case
A Michigan judge has dismissed charges against the state’s fake electors who falsely claimed Donald Trump won the 2020 election, citing a lack of evidence proving the group knowingly intended to break the law. The ruling ends the criminal prosecutions against the group, which included prominent GOP officials and Trump supporters. This decision is a setback to accountability efforts, especially since similar cases are still pending in other states like Nevada, Arizona, and Wisconsin. The Attorney General of Michigan, who brought the case, disagreed with the ruling and is evaluating the next steps, as defense lawyers celebrated it as a victory.
