The pro-Trump Arizona fake electors scheme: what’s in the charging document?

The indictment details the steps to push the concept of alternate electors in an alleged effort to overturn Biden’s victory

The indictment against the slate of fake electors in Arizona and the Trump allies who advanced the scheme there includes a host of public statements and private exchanges that show how the group intended to overturn the state’s electoral votes for Joe Biden in 2020.

Arizona’s Democratic attorney general Kris Mayes announced Wednesday that a state grand jury charged the 11 false electors and seven others with nine felony counts of fraud, forgery and conspiracy. The indictment from Mayes’ office is sure to be a talking point in this year’s elections , nearly four years after the acts themselves occurred.
