The Nevada Attorney General is seeking to revive a case involving fraudulent electors in the state, as reported by the Times Union. The legal battle stems from a group of individuals who claimed to be electors during the 2020 presidential election, despite not being formally appointed by the state. The Attorney General has filed an appeal to the state’s high court in an effort to re-open the case and hold these fake electors accountable.
The case originally began when a group of self-appointed electors submitted fake documents to the state in an attempt to cast their votes in the Electoral College. The state’s Democratic electors were ultimately certified and sent to Washington, but the fake electors continued to challenge the results in court. However, a lower court dismissed the case, prompting the Attorney General to appeal the decision.
In their appeal, the Attorney General argues that the fake electors violated state law and attempted to undermine the democratic process. They are seeking to have the case reconsidered in order to enforce consequences for those involved in the fraudulent scheme. The outcome of the appeal could have significant implications for future elections in Nevada and beyond.
The case highlights the ongoing concerns surrounding election integrity and the potential for individuals to manipulate the electoral process. The Attorney General’s actions demonstrate a commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that fraudulent behavior is not tolerated. As the legal battle continues to unfold, all eyes will be on the state’s high court to see how they will ultimately rule on this important issue.
