Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has filed felony charges against 16 Republicans who acted as fake electors for then-President Donald Trump in 2020, submitting false certificates in an attempt to overturn the results of the election. The charges include two counts of forgery, a 14-year felony, and serve as a reminder of the lengths Trump and his allies went to in an effort to overturn the election results. The charges come as the Trump administration faces increasing scrutiny over its role in the January 6th riot at the U.S. Capitol.
