Michigan Republicans Face Charges in Alleged 2020 'Fake Electors' Plot

All 16 Republicans involved in the "false elector" scheme in Michigan after the 2020 presidential election have pleaded not guilty to charges. They are accused of signing false certificates in an attempt to hand the state's Electoral College votes to former President Trump. The defendants face multiple criminal counts, including conspiracy to commit election law forgery. Prosecutors allege that the defendants coordinated efforts to award electoral votes to their preferred candidate. The defendants claim they did not know what they were signing or believed they were signing in case of a future court decision. The scheme is also being investigated in Georgia, with charges expected to be announced soon.
