Arizona fake electors face legal jeopardy, experts say – By Ryan Randazzo (Arizona Republic) / Aug 15, 2023
The people who falsely claimed to be Arizona’s 2020 electors might not be named in the federal indictment of Donald Trump, but they still face serious legal peril, as do the people from Trump’s team who directed them, some experts say.
But the legal debate over the issue has experts taking both sides, perhaps signaling that if an Arizona case develops, it won’t be a slam dunk.
GOP members in seven states where Joe Biden won the election, including Arizona, falsely signed documents in 2020 in an attempt to thwart the Electoral College. The federal indictment of Trump said this was part of a criminal conspiracy aimed at keeping him in office.
The Michigan electors were each charged with eight felonies and released on $1,000 bonds.
