"Michigan Attorney General Drops Charges Against Fake Elector in Exchange for Full Cooperation"

The Michigan Attorney General's office has dropped charges against James Renner, one of the 16 individuals accused of falsely claiming that Donald Trump won the state's electoral votes in an effort to overturn the 2020 election results. Renner agreed to "cooperate fully" with the investigation, leading to the dismissal of the charges. The group of Republicans had signed a document falsely stating they were the state's "duly elected and qualified electors." Renner's cooperation agreement includes providing information about the meeting where the fake elector certificates were signed. Michigan was the first state to charge individuals in connection with attempting to join a slate of "fake electors."
