Prosecutors have investigated the 2020 fake elector plot orchestrated by Trump allies in an effort to overturn the election. Sixteen fake electors have already been charged in Michigan.
It was an attempted heist right out in the open: a plan by Donald Trump’s allies to get"alternate" slates of electors to sign certificates declaring that Trump won key battleground states in 2020.
The office of Fani Willis, the district attorney in Georgia’s Fulton County, has said that people who signed the fake certificates in Georgia were targets of her investigation, which also addresses other efforts to overturn the election in the key battleground state that Joe Biden won. Indictments are expected in the Georgia case in August, and a federal indictment also looms.
. On Dec. 14, 2020, the duly chosen electors gathered in state capitols to sign certificates affirming which candidate won. On the same day in several battleground states, representatives of the losing side also gathered, claiming to be valid electors and signing certificates that falsely attested to a Trump win.
