A Carson City judge ordered the ‘fake elector’ cases sent to a trial court on Friday, an attorney and court staff confirmed.

Six Republican defendants are accused of plotting to give Donald Trump Nevada’s electoral votes in 2020, even though Joe Biden won the state by more than 30,000 votes, and signing certificates purportedly handing Trump the votes.

The defendants include Nevada Republican Party Chairman Michael McDonald and Jesse Law, who was chair of the Clark County Republican Party but lost his position in July when a new chair, Jill Douglass, was elected.

All were charged with uttering false instruments: forgery.

“The 6 Republican alternate electors were all bound up,” defense attorney Monti Levy said in a text. Levy represents defendant Eileen Rice.
