Michigan fake electors arraigned in Lansing court Thursday
Several individuals charged by Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel with multiple felonies for submitting false electoral counts in 2020 in support of then-President Donald Trump appeared in a Lansing court Thursday.
A total of 16 individuals were each charged in July with eight election fraud-related felonies, including former Michigan Republican Party Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock, Michigan GOP National Committeewoman Kathy Berden, Wyoming Mayor Kent Vanderwood and Shelby Township Trustee and Clerk Stanley Grot.
The majority of the criminal charges carry a maximum of 14 years in prison. All 16 individuals have now been arraigned and pleaded not guilty.
Michigan was not the only state to submit false election results.
Trump was indicted at the beginning of August when a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., accused him of enlisting “co-conspirators to assist him in his criminal efforts to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election and retain power” which ultimately led to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The federal indictment accusing Trump of trying to stay in power after losing the 2020 presidential election includes detailed accusations of Trump and his alleged co-conspirators’ pressure on individual state officials.
