Nevada GOP 'fake electors' plead not guilty to felony charges in Las Vegas

Six Nevada Republicans, including state party Chair Michael McDonald, pleaded not guilty in a Clark County court on Monday to felony charges brought after their attempt to pledge the state’s electoral votes to Donald Trump following the 2020 election, despite President Joe Biden’s victory in the state.

The charges came nearly three years after the defendants participated in a fake signing ceremony outside the Legislative Building in Carson City on the same day the state’s actual electoral votes were cast for Biden — part of a nationwide Trump campaign strategy to subvert 2020 election results in swing states over myriad unsupported claims of massive voter fraud.

The six fake electors are deeply ensconced in the state Republican Party leadership — aside from McDonald, they include Republican National Committeeman Jim DeGraffenreid, Clark County Republican Party Chair Jesse Law and state party Vice Chair Jim Hindle, who is also the elected clerk and treasurer in rural Storey County. The other two fake electors are Shawn Meehan and Eileen Rice.

All six appeared virtually in Clark County District Court for the arraignment. Their trial date is set for March 4.

1. Not guilty 🙄

[chicoescuela]

2. Yeah, they are guilty. F these clowns.

3. Need to find ballots that were used in 2020 and see if those names appeared...

with Trump and Pence's name on the ballot. If names are different it would be another problem.

4. Not how the ballot is designed.

Only the names of the Presidential candidates appear.

Also not relevant. Even if the names had appeared on the ballot, the crime was certifying that they were "duly elected".

5. It depends on the state. I saw one state with names of Electors included.
