Prosecutors in Georgia have revealed they may bring criminal charges against 16 Republicans who acted as fake electors as part of Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election. While Joe Biden won more votes in Georgia, the fake electors submitted false certifications to the National Archives claiming Trump had won the state. Similar efforts were done in six other states where Trump lost: Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Republicans facing possible prosecution in Georgia include state Senator Burt Jones, who is Governor Brian Kemp’s running mate for lieutenant governor, and David Shafer, the chair of the Georgia Republican Party.
