Michigan's attorney general has filed felony charges against 16 Republicans who acted as fake electors for then-President Donald Trump in 2020. In charges filed Tuesday, they are accused of submitting false certificates confirming they were legitimate electors despite Joe Biden’s victory in the state. The group includes the head of the Republican National Committee’s chapter in Michigan, as well as the former co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party. Attorney General Dana Nessel, a Democrat, alleged a “coordinated effort” among Republican parties in several battleground states to push so-called alternate slates of electors with fake documents. Nessel said she wants federal authorities to make an evaluation for possible charges.
