Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced felony charges against 16 Michigan, Republican, resident voters, ranging from ages 55 to 82 for their role in the alleged false electors scheme following the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
According to CNN, some of the GOP electors in Michigan were local activists who were recruited to serve as “fake electors,” all while inaccurately believing there was still a chance that then-President Donald Trump might secure a second consecutive term. Others were well-connected GOP operatives. The group of 16 fake electors includes current and former state GOP officials, a Republican National Committee member, a sitting mayor, a school board member and Trump supporters who were the plaintiffs in a frivolous lawsuit that tried to overturn the 2020 results.
