Six Republicans in Nevada again charged for 2020 fake elector scheme

Judge had dismissed original indictment, ruling that Clark county was wrong venue for filing charges

Six Republicans in Nevada have again been charged with submitting a bogus certificate to Congress that falsely declared Donald Trump the winner of the presidential battleground’s 2020 election.

Aaron Ford, the state’s attorney general, announced on Thursday that the fake electors case had been revived in Carson City, the capital, where he filed a new complaint this week charging the defendants with “uttering a forged instrument”, a felony.
