It’s the second victory for Arizona prosecutors this week in their sweeping case against many Trump allies.
An Arizona Republican who falsely claimed to be a legitimate presidential elector for former President Donald Trump — part of a sweeping effort by Trump and his allies to subvert the 2020 election — has pleaded guilty for her role in the scheme.
Lorraine Pellegrino, one of 11 Arizona Republicans who falsely posed as Trump’s electors that year, accepted a guilty plea to a single charge for filing a “false instrument” — the fraudulent Electoral College certificate. The state charge was one of several she faced for allegedly joining in a conspiracy to corrupt Arizona’s election results.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes charged the 11 fake electors, as well as several top Trump allies, in a broad indictment in April. Trump himself was not charged in the Arizona case, but he was identified by a state grand jury as an unindicted coconspirator. Trump was also charged federally and in Georgia with felonies arising from his fake elector scheme and other efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory.
Republicans are stand up guys, at least they admit their mistakes. The Dems are hypocrites who contest every election; you don’t see them pleading guilty.

Deep state prosecutors aren’t even going after them. Doesn’t anyone find the lack of evidence they’re doing crimes suspicious?
Evidence? That’s the path to Satan.

There’s something wrong with this couch-fucker’s medulla oblongata
is this like, even remotely true at all? Has there ever been a single election the dems have contested? I mean there were the gore elections that were a mess, but im not sure that was even a big deal post election.
Yeah, Gore was the big one. But in typical fashion they just went “oh ok” and gave up as soon as SCOTUS said something. I wish they would have fought harder, because that entire thing was bullshit.
yeah, that would make sense to me, i could see them maybe pushing a little bit to be sure, but they probably wouldn’t do anything past that, mostly because there’s not exactly an available recourse for having an improperly seated president other than impeachment, which i guess you could do?
