Carson City, NV – Attorney General Aaron D. Ford has filed a motion with the Nevada Supreme Court requesting expedited consideration of appeals in the "fake electors" cases. The request aims to clarify the path forward for prosecuting these crimes.
"I have asked the Nevada Supreme Court to expedite its consideration of our appeals in the 'fake electors' cases," said AG Ford. "It is imperative that we hold these six individuals accountable for the sake of both the public good and the integrity of our elections."
Last week, Judge Holthus entered orders dismissing the State’s cases against six people who submitted fake elector certificates falsely declaring Donald Trump as the winner of Nevada’s electoral votes in the 2020 presidential election. Immediately following this decision, the Nevada Attorney General's Office filed a notice of appeal with the Nevada Supreme Court.
