Two former Trump campaign aides and an attorney appeared in Wisconsin court on felony forgery charges related to a fake elector scheme from the 2020 election, with the case progressing despite attempts to dismiss it and allegations of judicial bias.
A fake Certificate of Votes from Michigan's 2020 presidential election was submitted to the U.S. Senate, leading to forgery charges against 15 Republicans who falsely claimed to be electors. The document, which did not match the official one signed by the governor, arrived late and was deemed fake. Similar false certificates were sent from other battleground states, with some Republicans conceding in a legal settlement that their efforts were part of an attempt to improperly overturn the election results. Preliminary hearings are ongoing to determine the sufficiency of evidence for the charges.
