Three individuals indicted in ‘fake electors’ scheme within Arizona RNC delegates, says Cronkite News.

Arizona Republicans indicted for their roles in attempting to overturn the 2020 presidential election will serve as delegates at the Republican National Convention in July and are defiant in the face of charges. Three of the indicted individuals, including State Sen. Anthony Kern, received the most votes as at-large delegates at the state GOP convention despite facing felony charges related to election subversion. The group, which includes Jake Hoffman and Nancy Cottle, had previously signed documents claiming that Trump won Arizona’s electoral votes, despite Biden’s victory in the state. The defendants have pleaded not guilty, and their supporters argue that they were fulfilling their constitutional duties by preparing an alternative slate of electors. Critics, including Arizona Democrats, condemn the selection of these individuals as delegates, accusing them of prioritizing Trump over the will of the voters. Despite the legal challenges and controversy surrounding the 2020 election, Trump won the state’s primary and will receive all of Arizona’s GOP delegates in Milwaukee. While the accusations against the indicted Republicans continue to generate debate, they maintain that they are innocent and look forward to vindication through the judicial process. The situation has sparked discussions about the role of delegates in the political process and the legal implications of their actions.
