Georgia's Lt. Gov. Burt Jones Under Investigation for Alleged Election Meddling

Georgia's Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones will face an inquiry for his involvement as a fake elector for Donald J. Trump in the 2020 presidential election. The district attorney of Fulton County, Fani T. Willis, was disqualified from pursuing the case due to a conflict of interest, but the executive director of the Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia, Pete Skandalakis, has now taken over the investigation. This comes as part of a broader investigation into fake electors enlisted by the Trump campaign in several swing states.

"Controversy Surrounding Fake Trump Elector Rocks Wisconsin Elections Commission"

Wisconsin Secretary of State Sarah Godlewski is calling for the removal of Republican Robert Spindell Jr. from the state elections commission after he admitted to being a fake elector for former President Trump in an effort to overturn the 2020 election. Godlewski sent a letter to state Senate Majority Leader Devin LeMahieu urging him to take action, citing Spindell's fraudulent actions and lack of respect for the law. Spindell was one of the 10 Wisconsin fake Trump electors who settled a lawsuit last week, agreeing not to serve as electors in the future and to cooperate with ongoing investigations.

"Wisconsin Secretary of State Demands Removal of Fake Trump Elector from Elections Commission"

Wisconsin's Democratic Secretary of State, Sarah Godlewski, is calling for the removal of Republican Bob Spindell from his position on the Wisconsin Elections Commission. Spindell was one of 10 Republicans who signed certificates falsely stating that Donald Trump had won Wisconsin in the 2020 presidential election. However, a legal settlement was reached last week in which Spindell and the other fake electors conceded that Joe Biden had won the state and agreed not to serve as electors again. Godlewski cited Spindell's fraudulent actions as reasons for his removal and called him unfit for the position.

"Michigan Attorney General Drops Charges Against Fake Elector in Exchange for Full Cooperation"

The Michigan Attorney General's office has dropped charges against James Renner, one of the 16 individuals accused of falsely claiming that Donald Trump won the state's electoral votes in an effort to overturn the 2020 election results. Renner agreed to "cooperate fully" with the investigation, leading to the dismissal of the charges. The group of Republicans had signed a document falsely stating they were the state's "duly elected and qualified electors." Renner's cooperation agreement includes providing information about the meeting where the fake elector certificates were signed. Michigan was the first state to charge individuals in connection with attempting to join a slate of "fake electors."
