Nevada GOP chair, five others charged in 2020 fake electors scheme
Six Nevada Republicans Indicted for Falsely Giving State’s Electors to Trump
Six prominent Nevada Republicans, including the state’s Republican Party chairman, are facing charges for their alleged involvement in falsely awarding the state’s electors to former President Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. The indictments were announced by Nevada’s Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford.
The individuals named in the indictment are Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald, national committeeman Jim DeGraffenreid, Clark County Republican Party Chairman Jesse Law, Nevada Republican Party Vice Chairman Jim Hindle III, Shawn Meehan, and Eileen Rice. Interestingly, Law had also announced his candidacy for the state Assembly on the same day.
Defending Democracy and Pursuing Justice
Attorney General Ford expressed his commitment to defending the integrity of the nation and the state’s democratic institutions in the face of attempts to undermine faith in the electoral process. He stated, “We cannot allow attacks on democracy to go unchallenged. Today’s indictments are the product of a long and thorough investigation, and I am confident that our judicial system will ensure justice is served.”
All six defendants are facing charges of offering a false instrument for filing and uttering a forged instrument in relation to their actions surrounding the 2020 election. If convicted, they could face a minimum of one year in prison and a maximum of four to five years.
Similar efforts by “fake electors” were observed in Georgia and Michigan during the 2020 election, leading to indictments against Michigan Republicans as well.
