Judge dismisses charges against 6 'alternate electors' in Nevada
SUMMARY
A Clark County, Nevada, judge dismissed charges against six "alternate electors" accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election results for former President Trump. Judge Mary Kay Holthus ruled that Clark County wasn't the right jurisdiction since the alleged 'false elector' documents were mailed from Douglas County and the signing ceremony occurred in Carson City. Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford's office plans to appeal the decision. The defendants, top Nevada Republican officials and Trump allies, were charged with various felonies. This dismissal marks the first among five state-level 'fake elector' cases to be thrown out, with similar cases ongoing in Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
