LANSING, Mich. — Michigan’s lawyer common is charging 16 Republicans with a number of felonies after they're alleged to have submitted false certificates stating they had been the state’s presidential electors regardless of Joe Biden’s 154,000-vote victory in 2020.

Dana Nessel, a Democrat, introduced Tuesday that each one 16 people could be charged with a number of felony counts, together with two counts of forgery, which is a 14-year felony. The group consists of Republican National Committeewoman Kathy Berden and Meshawn Maddock, former co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party.

“It would be malfeasance of the greatest magnitude if my department failed to act here in the face of overwhelming evidence of an organized effort to circumvent the lawfully cast ballots of millions of Michigan voters in a presidential election,” Nessel mentioned in an announcement.
