Baskow/AP A Nevada grand jury on Wednesday indicted six individuals who submitted documents falsely attesting that they were the state's official presidential electors and that Donald Trump won Nevada in the 2020 election. So-called "fake electors" have now faced criminal charges in three swing states: Nevada, Michigan and Georgia. The defendants face two felony charges apiece — "Offering a False Instrument for Filing" and "Uttering a Forged Instrument" — according to a release from the state attorney general. Those states include Michigan, where in July the Democratic state attorney general announced charges against 16 people posing as electors, and Georgia, where fake electors were included in Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' sweeping racketeering indictment.
