Arizona could become the fourth state to bring election interference charges
PHOENIX — On Dec. 14, 2020, five weeks after the 2020 presidential election, a group of 11 Republicans convened at the state Republican Party headquarters in Phoenix and signed documents they claimed on social media were the legitimate representations of the state's electoral votes."For President Donald J. Trump of the state of Florida, number of votes: 11," one of the alleged fake electors said in a video posted on X by the Republican Party of Arizona.
Most recently, in December, Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford announced felony charges against six alleged"fake electors" in that state. In Michigan, Attorney General Dana Nessel similarly charged 16"alternate electors" in July for conspiracy to commit forgery, among other charges.
"Today, Arizona's 11 Republican presidential electors met to cast their votes for President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence," the Arizona GOP tweeted in December 2020."With ongoing legal challenges to the 2020 presidential election still being heard in the courts across the country holding hearings on election fraud and voting irregularities, it is imperative that the proper elections are counted by Congress.
ABC News previously reported that Trump attempted to pressure then-Gov. Doug Ducey to overturn the state's 2020 election results, and that Trump asked then-Vice President Mike Pence to pressure Ducey to find fraudulent votes in the state, according to sources. Although Pence called Ducey multiple times in the aftermath of the election, he did not follow through with Trump's instructions to pressure him, sources said.
