Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has announced charges against 11 alleged fake electors, the office announced in a press release on Wednesday, for their alleged role in a scheme after the 2020 presidential election. Several of the names have been redacted, but Mayes said those names will be unredacted when "all defendants have been served." Arizona becomes the fourth state to file criminal charges against the so-called "fake electors" who allegedly announced they were ready to pledge electoral votes to Donald Trump in their respective states during the 2020 election, despite Joe Biden winning those states.
