GOP attempt to award Mich. Electoral College votes to Trump referred to feds, Nessel says

Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a television interview Thursday her office has referred the submission of a false slate of presidential electors from Michigan Republicans for the 2020 presidential election to federal prosecutors.

Nessel made the comments Thursday during an interview with MSBNC’s Rachel Maddow.

As Michigan’s presidential electors convened on Dec. 14, 2020, to cast their votes for Joe Biden, a group of Republicans signed on to their own certificate that attempted to award the state’s 16 Electoral College votes to Donald Trump.

The document, shared with the U.S. House committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol last year, was obtained by POLITICO.
