Attorney General Kaul Considers Charges Against Fake Electors

Attorney General Josh Kaul attended a press conference Tuesday to speak on whether the state of Wisconsin will take action against Republicans who tried to disrupt the 2020 presidential election. On Tuesday, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessal announced the state’s 16 Republican alternate electors would be charged with multiple felonies following their efforts to interfere with election results. All 16 of them were charged with eight felonies, which included election law forgery and conspiracy to commit forgery charges. This is the first time the fake electors — who acted in multiple states– are being charged. While Kaul previously stated he wanted to see how federal investigators were moving forward on the matter, he has not addressed a plan to take action locally.
