Investigations into the false elector scheme related to the 2020 U.S. Presidential election have been unfolding across several states, notably Nevada, Georgia, Michigan, and Arizona. These inquiries focus on the actions of Republican activists and operatives who falsely declared electoral votes for Donald Trump, despite his electoral loss.

In Nevada, the state’s Attorney General is conducting a quiet investigation into six Republican electors who falsely declared themselves as the state’s duly appointed Electoral College representatives. The probe extends to reviewing documents prepared by these individuals as part of their effort to reverse the election results. This scheme involved falsely declaring Donald Trump the winner in Nevada, despite Joe Biden’s victory in the state​​​​. The investigation’s details remain undisclosed, and it’s unclear whether indictments will be sought or if the probe includes individuals outside Nevada​​. (POLITICO)

Michigan’s Attorney General, Dana Nessel, has taken a more assertive approach, filing forgery and other felony charges against 16 Republican activists. These charges relate to the submission of documents falsely indicating they were the state’s duly appointed presidential electors. The charges include conspiracy to commit forgery, uttering and publishing, and election law forgery. Each offense carries a substantial penalty, with the maximum punishment ranging from five to 14 years in prison. Nessel’s office has not ruled out the possibility of charges against additional defendants, indicating an ongoing investigation​​. (POLITICO)

In Georgia, three of the state’s 16 electors have been charged in Fulton County’s racketeering case, which focuses on the plot to overturn the election results. These electors, including a former GOP state chair, a state senator, and a local Republican official, claimed they were acting under Trump’s orders. Another co-defendant has pleaded guilty to conspiracy to file false documents. The investigation in Georgia is part of a broader inquiry into the attempts to reverse the election outcome​​​​.

Arizona’s Attorney General, Kris Mayes, confirmed the investigation into 11 individuals who falsely claimed to be the state’s rightful electors. This group included high-profile members of the Arizona Republican Party. The investigation aims to address the submission of documents intended to disrupt the Electoral College count in Congress, which ultimately confirmed Biden’s presidential election victory. The timeline for any potential charges in Arizona is uncertain, as the investigation is still in its early stages​​​​​​​​. (12 News)
