Nevada judge dismisses case against electors accused of forging documents in 2020 falsely saying Trump won the election
Americas4 sources2 countries10m ago
A Nevada judge has dismissed the yearslong criminal case against six Nevada Republicans. The defendants were accused of submitting a bogus certificate that falsely declared Donald Trump the winner of the state's 2020 presidential election.
The dismissal was ruled on Thursday in Las Vegas. The group had faced accusations of forging documents and acting as fake electors who tried to keep Trump in the White House after he lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden.
This legal outcome marks the latest setback in efforts by swing states to prosecute fake electors involved in the 2020 election challenges.
