Read our privacy policy Three men who allegedly orchestrated a plot to reverse Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss in Wisconsin have been charged with forgery for their role in a scheme alongside campaign officials to subvert state documents that represented millions of voters. Former Trump-allied attorneys Chesebro and Toupis were among the architects of the so-called “fake elector” scheme to falsely proclaim Trump’s victory in states he lost to President Joe Biden. According to a civil lawsuit that was settled earlier this year, Chesebro and Toupis coordinated with Trump campaign officials to implement the “alternate” elector strategy in Wisconsin and six other states to replace electors with Trump loyalists to submit fraudulent certificates of state election results to Congress. Law enforcement officials have now filed criminal charges in five out of seven swing states – including Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada and Wisconsin – where defendants are accused of orchestrating an attempt to unlawfully submit fraudulent Electoral College results to Congress, where Trump and his allies then pressured then-Vice President Mike Pence to reject Biden’s victory on January 6, 2021.
