Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has indicted fake electors for their part in the overall scheme to overthrow the government and overturn the 2020 election they lost. (For a quick refresher, Joe Biden beat Trump in Michigan by almost three full percentage points. It wasn’t close.)

Nessel is charging 16 Republicans, the youngest two of them are 55 - with felonies for going into the basement of the Michigan Republican Party and affirming multiple times on documents that they were “the duly elected and qualified electors for president and vice president of the United States of America for the state of Michigan.” These folks were not that.

These people then sent their lying forged docs to the U.S. Senate and to the National Archives, because they wanted then Vice-President Mike Pence to have the courage to use their fake elector certificates instead of the real ones from the real world, where Joe Biden kicked Donald Trump's ass in the election.

These are the first electors to be criminally indicted, and hopefully, not the last. smile

Republicans bill themselves as the party of law and order. They're more the party of cheat at any cost to steal elections.

Contrarian, extraordinaire
