On Wednesday, Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Democrat, publicly announced that six Trump 2020 alternate electors had been indicted by the Eighth Judicial District Court in Nevada on felony charges.
This came after reports last month that AG Ford was conducting a private investigation into these individuals.
“When the efforts to undermine faith in our democracy began after the 2020 election, I made it clear that I would do everything in my power to defend the institutions of our nation and our state,” Aaron Ford said. “We cannot allow attacks on democracy to go unchallenged. Today’s indictments are the product of a long and thorough investigation, and as we enter into litigation, I am confident that our judicial system will see justice done.”
“Among those charged are some of the top officials from the Nevada Republican Party, including Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald, Nevada Republican Party National Committeeman Jim DeGraffenreid, Clark County Republican Party Chairman Jesse Law and Storey County Clerk Jim Hindle, as well as Republican operatives Shawn Meehan and Eileen Rice.” ABC News reported.
“Each of the defendants have been charged with felonies including offering a false instrument for filing, offering a forged instrument, and offering a false instrument titled “Certificate of the Votes of the 2020 Electors from Nevada” to the President of the Senate; the Archivist of the United States; the Nevada Secretary of State; and the United States District Court for the District of Nevada.” the outlet said.
In December 2020, Republican electors in Nevada cast procedural ballots for Donald Trump to preserve the campaign’s legal challenges.
This is similar to what occurred during the 1960 election when Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy were involved in litigation throughout the process.
