None of defendants have entered a plea but several have said they dont think they did anything wrong. The arraignments will take place on August at the Ingham County District Court located in Lansing. A forensic scientist with the Michigan State Police also scrutinized the signatures on a fake election certificate comparing them to the known signatures for the fake electors. The fake electors were likely following media coverage of the election investigators wrote. At the time the GOP leaders of the Michigan state legislature publicly announced there was no evidence of voter fraud sufficient to affect the results the filing points out. Also the charging documents mention that three fake elector were plaintiffs in a frivolous election lawsuit that was rejected by a federal judge who blasted their attempt to ignore the will of millions of voters. The defendants have accused Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel of weaponizing the justice system to go after political opponents.

The Michigan attorney general’s office has not commented on the charges against the fake GOP electors but said that the charges are being investigated by the Department of Justice and the Michigan Department of Law Enforcement and that no further action will be taken against any of the defendants until the investigation is complete.
