Michigan's Attorney General, Dana Nessel, has filed felony charges against 16 Republicans for acting as Fake Electors for Donald Trump in the 2020 election. The group, which includes prominent Republican figures, is accused of submitting false certificates confirming their status as legitimate electors despite Joe Biden's victory in the state. The charges include two counts of forgery, which carry a potential 14-year prison sentence. Nessel described the alleged actions as an organized effort to circumvent the lawfully cast ballots of millions of Michigan voters. The case was previously referred to federal prosecutors for a criminal investigation.
