Nevada Judge Dismisses Fake Electors Case Over Jurisdiction

Jun 21, 2024, 07:45 PM

A Nevada state court judge has dismissed the criminal case against six Republicans accused of submitting false electoral votes for Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election. Judge Mary Kay Holthus ruled that Clark County was not the appropriate jurisdiction to hear the case, leading to its dismissal over the venue question. The Nevada Attorney General, Aaron Ford, has announced plans to appeal the decision, arguing that the judge's ruling was incorrect. The case, involving alternate electors, has been a significant point of contention, with implications for similar fake electors cases across the country.
