"Trump Co-Defendants Attempt to Transfer Georgia Election Interference Cases to Federal Court"

Three fake Republican electors charged in Georgia's election subversion case are attempting to move their case to federal court, arguing that they were acting as "contingent presidential electors" under the direction of former President Donald Trump. They claim that they should be treated as federal officials and receive immunity protections. However, legal experts believe it will be difficult for their argument to prevail, as there is extensive Supreme Court precedent stating that presidential electors are not federal officers. The Fulton County District Attorney wants the cases to remain in state court, asserting that the fake electors were not acting as federal officials.
