4 states now have cases

Arizona follows Nevada in bringing charges

PHOENIX – Supporters of former President Donald Trump in seven states sent paperwork to Congress after the 2020 election, attempting to create a path to keep the Republican in the White House despite his loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

On Wednesday, Arizona became the latest of those states to bring charges against the individuals who are often called “fake electors.” The other six states where the plot took place are Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

Prosecutors in three of those states have pursued criminal penalties against the Trump electors, with Georgia’s case being the widest in scope. Arizona’s case is also broad, in that it brings allegations against key Trump allies who orchestrated the plot. But unlike Georgia’s case, Trump himself is not facing charges.
