A Nevada grand jury on Wednesday indicted six Republicans who submitted certificates to Congress falsely declaring Donald Trump the winner of the 2020 presidential election in their state, making Nevada the third to seek charges against so-called “fake electors.” …

Among the fake electors is Nevada GOP chairman Michael McDonald, who has pushed to bypass the state-run presidential primary to nominate a Republican presidential nominee, instead opting for a party-run caucus, which would require voter ID and paper ballots. He did not respond to a phone call requesting comment on Wednesday.

[The fake-electors issue is part of Fani Willis’ RICO indictment in Georgia, and Michigan has charged 16 Republicans as well. Nevada’s AG had originally said that the issue couldn’t be pursued as criminal charges, but he apparently changed his mind. The state’s Democrat governor vetoed a bill that would have made it an explicit crime, so this may be tough to get to a trial for the AG. — Ed]
