NewzA Nevada judge has dismissed criminal charges against six Republicans accused of submitting a fraudulent certificate declaring Donald Trump the winner of the state’s 2020 presidential election. Clark County District Judge Mary Kay Holthus issued the ruling on Thursday, effectively ending the state's prosecution of the individuals involved in the effort to alter the election outcome.
The dismissal represents a significant legal setback for state-level efforts to prosecute individuals who acted as alternate electors following the 2020 election. These charges were part of a broader series of legal actions taken in various swing states against those who attempted to keep Donald Trump in office after his loss to Joe Biden.
