There were developments the week of December 4th in the GOP fake Presidential elector plots in Nevada, Wisconsin and Arizona. Investigations continue in New Mexico and Georgia, with one of the indicted lawyers in the Georgia case cooperating with prosecutors.
Trump election attorney Kenneth Chezbro pleaded guilty to a felony charge of conspiracy to commit filing false documents in October, and is reportedly meeting with prosecutors in Arizona December 11th. The Arizona Mirror reports that alleged fake elector participants include the former chair of the Arizona GOP and two state senators.
On December 6th, a Nevada grand jury announced felony indictments of six alleged fake electors, including the state GOP chair and vice chair, a national GOP committeeman, the chair of the Clark County Republicans, and two others.
Also December 6th, ten alleged fake electors in Wisconsin agreed in a civil settlement to publicly acknowledge that Joe Biden won the 2020 election. Among the participants were the former chair of the state GOP, and a member of the state election commission. As part of the deal, a trove of documents was released, suggesting that participants knew what they were doing was wrong.
Michigan indicted 16 alleged fake electors on document fraud charges in August. Charges for one conspirator were dropped after a cooperation agreement in October.
We have details on all these state cases at AmericanDemocracyMinute.org. I’m Brian Beihl.
