The Nevada Supreme Court handed a victory Thursday to Democratic state prosecutors who charged the state’s pro-Trump “fake electors” from 2020.
The court ruled that the case should proceed in Clark County, home to Las Vegas and the bulk of the state’s Democratic electorate. A lower court previously dismissed the case on the grounds that it was filed in the wrong venue, forcing prosecutors to refile the case instead in Carson City, the more conservative state capital.
Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, a Democrat who is prosecuting the case, praised the ruling in a statement.
“The 2020 fake electors cannot evade accountability in Nevada for their unlawful actions,” he said. “As attorney general, it is my duty to hold those who sought to undermine the results of our state’s free and fair election responsible.”
The high court sided with the state prosecutors, who preferred that the case proceed in Las Vegas, which might have a more favorable jury pool than Carson City.
YES: After Trump gave a useless "pardon" to his fake electors – which has zero effect on the state level – the Nevada Supreme Court REVIVED the criminal case against his 2020 fake electors. 👏 They're so very screwed.
