MI: Fake elector accusations leaves Shelby Township residents seeking resignation from clerk
SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. (CBS DETROIT) - The Board of Trustees in Shelby Township got an earful Tuesday night from residents concerning one trustee being accused of committing election fraud.
In July, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced 16 fake electors were charged after being accused of trying to overturn the election.
It's alleged all 16 met at the Michigan Republican Party headquarters on Dec. 14, 2020, the same day members of the real Electoral College met in states across the country to cast their votes and secure Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election.
The affidavit said the phony electors signed a document titled "Certificate of The Votes of The 2020 Electors From Michigan" that falsely claimed they were the legitimate electors for president and vice president from Michigan.
Shelby Township's Clerk Stanley Grot is one of the 16 accused. Grot has served in the role since 2012.
