Michigan AG charges Republican officials, including Trump supporters, over fake elector scheme to overturn election
- Michigan's attorney general has filed multiple felony charges against 16 Republicans who falsely claimed to be presidential electors for Trump in 2020.
- The fake electors signed documents claiming they were qualified to cast Michigan's electoral votes for Trump, despite Biden winning the state.
- Those charged include prominent GOP figures like a former state party co-chair, an RNC member, and local officials and activists.
- Similar fake elector slates declaring Trump the winner were submitted in other swing states like Arizona, Georgia, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
- Investigations into the scheme are ongoing, and some legal experts say the serious charges could deter future attempts to interfere with elections.
