Readers might recall that back in April, a grand jury in Maricopa County, Arizona, indicted nearly 20 Republicans and associates of Donald Trump, after Democrat state Attorney General Kris Mayes brought a case against 2020 “fake electors” on felony charges of fraud, forgery, and conspiracy:
A grand jury in Arizona has handed down indictments against 11 Arizona Republicans at the center of the “fake elector” controversy of 2020 – in which Republicans were attempting to nominate and send “alternate” electors to Washington D.C. – electors who supported the theory that the 2020 election was stolen.
…
The 11 Republicans met at the Arizona GOP headquarters a month after the 2020 election and signed a certificate claiming to be the 11 electors from the state. They posted the letter to social media and sent it to Congress.
My colleague Joe Cunningham added that another party mentioned in the indictment is “unindicted co-conspirator 1,” who is believed to be former president Donald Trump.
