While former President Donald Trump awaits a likely indictment for his role in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election, we’re in Michigan, where two related cases involving alleged fake electors and voting machine tampering are moving forward.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charged 16 alleged “fake electors,” who Nessel said in a statement were part of an “organized effort to circumvent the lawfully cast ballots of millions of Michigan voters in a presidential election.” 

The alleged participants are charged with one or more counts of Conspiracy to Commit Forgery, Forgery, Election Law Forgery and other felonies.  Some carry penalties of up to 14 years in prison.  

The Michigan Advance reports that those charged include the co-chair of the Michigan GOP, the mayor of Wyoming, MI, a co-founder of the Michigan Conservative Coalition, and several county and state candidates and committee members.  The false documents were allegedly signed in the basement of the Michigan GOP headquarters before being submitted to the U.S. Senate and National Archives as genuine. 

Elector Documents: American Oversight

Bridge Michigan reports that July 12th, an Oakland County judge ruled that a special prosecutor may move forward with a voting machine tampering case involving a 2022 candidate for Michigan Attorney General, Matt Deperno, a former state representative and others.  The suspects allegedly took Dominion ballot tabulating machines to a hotel room to find evidence of voter fraud.
