thewayneAh, such a lovely news night last night was! Arizona did two good things in one day - unbelievable! They started the repeal of the Civil War-era abortion law, and the Attorney General indicted eighteen people for the false elector scam that the Trump campaign tried to run, including: Rudi Giuliani and Mark Meadows, Kelli Ward, the former chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party, and her husband Michael Ward, two serving state lawmakers - Anthony Kern and Jake Hoffman.
The charges include conspiracy, fraud, and forgery. From the article: "The 11 people who had been nominated to be Arizona’s Republican electors met in Phoenix on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate saying they were “duly elected and qualified” electors and claiming that Trump carried the state. A one-minute video of the signing ceremony was posted on social media by the Arizona Republican Party at the time. The document was later sent to Congress and the National Archives, where it was ignored."
The funny thing was that while Governor Ducey was signing the document finalizing the count, his phone rang with a Hail To The Chief ringtone - it was Trump. Ducey hit Ignore and finished his task.
An unnamed former American President has yet to be revealed. And it's rumored that a former aid to a former American President is singing like a bird to avoid being charged.
Florida, New York, Washington DC, Georgia, and now Arizona!

This Huffington Post article goes into details of other states that have prosecuted people for the same crime of invalid electors.
