Michigan’s attorney general on Tuesday criminally charged 16 so-called “fake electors” for former President Donald Trump, accusing them of a fraudulent effort to reverse President Joe Biden’s victory in the state’s 2020 election.
The 16 people each face eight charges, including conspiracy, election law forgery, and uttering and publishing, state Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a video announcement.
Nessel called the alleged plan a “desperate effort” to “undermine democracy.” Several of the accused are active in Republican politics. *** On Dec. 14, 2020, weeks after Biden defeated Trump by more than 154,000 votes in Michigan, the defendants met covertly in the basement of the state GOP headquarters and signed documents claiming to be the legally qualified electors for the state in the Electoral College, according to Nessel.
“That was a lie,” Nessel said. “They weren’t the duly elected and qualified electors, and each of the defendants knew it.”
After that meeting, “some of the false electors attempted to enter the state Capitol and deliver their fabricated electoral votes to the Senate floor, but were turned away,” she said.
The bogus electoral documents were then sent to the U.S. Senate and the National Archives “with the intent that Vice President Mike Pence would overturn the results of the election using the false electoral slate,” Nessel said.

They are not “fake electors” they are the other slate at that time.
Whenever you hear ANY leftist talk about “Our Democracy” what they mean is their communist agenda..throw everyone they hate in jail..have we become Iran, North Korea, Venezuela, actually we have its been going on for a while, but unfortunately many didn’t notice
Apparently that’s illegal in Michigan now that we are living under a one-party dictatorship.
Derp State fraud protecting the criminal racket from challenging their stealing.
More government spin. There aren’t many ways to deal with an out-of control government.
Exactly. Because we’re NOT a “Democracy.”
I’ll give 10 to 1 odds that she will be touted as a “rising star” after the 2024 election and considered to be “presidential material.”
Kitchen sink of ruin against anything Trump. Now the feds are drawing on their corrupt assets at the state level. It’s all scum on deck to sink Trump using lawfare. Biden announced that six months ago.
That's not a coincidence.
>> The 16 people each face eight charges, including ... uttering
Thou shall not utter!
From bruceplc.com: "Uttering and publishing occur when a defendant transacts a fraudulent document, usually at a financial institution with the purpose of fraud. Publishing this false document to a third party is an essential element of this offense. This crime is punishable by imprisonment for up to fourteen years or a fine of $10000."
It’s time for CWII
Any information into the investigation of the 30,000 plus fraudulent signatures that resulted into a number of prominent candidates being disqualified from the past election?
Nessel is a hard core liberal LESBIAN and wouldn’t expect anything less from her.
