NextImg:What Michigan's charges against fake electors mean for these states


After Michigan's attorney general charged 16 fake electors on Tuesday for their involvement in an alleged plot to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election in favor of former President Donald Trump, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico are being eyed for similar efforts that took place.

Attorney General Dana Nessel charged participants with eight felony counts each, including forgery, conspiracy to commit forgery, and election law forgery.

Special counsel Jack Smith's office has reportedly contacted and interviewed officials within each of the seven battleground states Trump and his associates looked to in the hope of influencing the outcome of the election, according to CNN.

Among those who have reportedly met with Smith's office are an official with the Nevada secretary of state’s office, in reference to a criminal investigation, and former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey. Ducey's spokesman, Daniel Scarpinato, said, “Yes, he’s been contacted. He’s been responsive, and just as he’s done since the election, he will do the right thing.”

Prosecutors additionally met with Wisconsin Elections Commission Administrator Meagan Wolfe and Milwaukee Election Commission Executive Director Claire Woodall, per the report.

Despite Smith's correspondence with officials in each state, it is unknown whether the individuals will face similar charges to those in Michigan. Earlier this year, Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford said a statute to charge fake electors under does not exist in the state.

“With it on our radar, we ascertained that current state statutes did not directly address the conduct in question,” Ford told the Assembly Committee on Legislative Operations and Elections in Nevada.

This has prompted legislation that would address the conduct to be introduced by state lawmakers.

On Tuesday, Trump reported receiving a target letter from Smith, informing him he was a target in an investigation related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and the 2020 presidential election.

The letter gives the former president four days to report to the grand jury tasked with investigating the matter.

While indictments are likely after receiving a letter of this nature, they are not guaranteed.
