Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said she thinks the fake electors she charged for their efforts to keep former President Donald Trump as president after the 2020 election were"brainwashed" and"still think they're right."
"How do you flip someone who concedes that they did everything that they’re accused of doing, but what they say is, ‘We believe that we were in the right. We think that Donald Trump is the real winner of the election’?" Nessel continued. Each elector was charged with eight felony counts, including forgery, conspiracy to commit forgery, and election law forgery. Some of the charges carry jail sentences of 14 years each and/or a $10,000 fine."Somebody can’t even plead guilty if they wanted to because they can’t admit that what they did violated the law because they still think they’re right," Nessel said.
The 16 electors have pleaded not guilty to the charges, while some of them continue to peddle false claims about the 2020 election. Hearings are set for October and November as the 16 cases all progress toward trials.
