Grand jury indicts fake electors who falsely certified Donald Trump as 2020 winner in Arizona

https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/24/arizona-fake-electors-indictments/73184206007/

Arizona is the fourth state to bring charges against electors who falsely cast votes for Trump in states that President Biden won, along with Michigan, Georgia and Nevada.

New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are the states which have yet to indict their fraudulent electors.

Good, any tampering like that needs to be punished. If that won't happen we are guaranteed it will happen again.

How about we don’t go neolib on their asses and just try them in court?..

Sounds good. They are the party of law and order, I'm sure they will be on board.

SCOTUS majority (probably): The electoral college is defined by the Constitution, state law doesn't apply to electors, they have to be prosecuted in Federal court.

Are they picking bad photos of tRump or has he started to look like death warmed over lately?
