Trump Supporters in Nevada and Wisconsin Brought to Justice Over "Fake Electors" Scheme
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A Nevada grand jury has indicted six fake Trump electors who falsely
claimed Trump won the 2020 vote in Nevada. They face felony charges with
penalties that could see them sentenced to up to five years in prison.

In Wisconsin, 10 pro-Trump Republicans involved in their state's "fake
elector" scheme admitted Biden won Wisconsin in 2020, as part of a legal
settlement. The agreement compels the 10 fake electors to cooperate with
the Justice Department's investigations into Trump's election fraud and
the January 6 Capitol insurrection.
