Most of the 16 Michigan Republicans who served as fake electors in 2020 will be arraigned Thursday and are expected to plead not guilty to the first-of-their-kind felony charges
The group of Donald Trump supporters were hit with state charges last month over their role in the former president’s campaign’s seven-state plan to subvert the Electoral College and overturn the 2020 election results by supplanting lawful Democratic electors with fake Republican electors. Some of the 16 defendants have pleaded not guilty and were released on $1,000 bond.
Two weeks after Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced the state charges, Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith indicted Trump on federal charges stemming from his attempts to overturn the 2020 election. The sweeping indictment accused Trump of trying to “subvert the legitimate election results and change electoral votes” with the fake elector plot. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the federal indictment, which was filed in Washington, DC.
