In a recent lawsuit, three Michigan electors are suing a slate of 16 Republicans for allegedly plotting to replace “duly elected and qualified” electors in an attempt to overthrow Donald Trump’s 2020 defeat in the state. The lawsuit, filed in Michigan’s Kent County Circuit Court, claims that the fake electors were part of a “fraudulent scheme to steal the election and install the losing candidate as President.”
The suit, brought by Blake Mazurek, Robin Smith and Timothy Smith, names the 16 Republicans who submitted paperwork claiming that Donald Trump had won the state in 2020 and that they were his electors. The suit states that the fake electors attempted to “subvert the sacred right of qualified voters in Michigan, enshrined in the state Constitution, to have their votes counted.”
The lawsuit seeks to have a judge declare that the “fake elector scheme was illegal under Michigan law.” It also seeks to have the court declare that the three plaintiffs are the “duly elected and qualified electors” for the state of Michigan.
The lawsuit comes after Trump and his allies attempted to install fake Electoral College electors in Michigan and other battleground states in an effort to overturn the election results. The suit is the latest in a series of legal challenges brought by Trump and his allies in an effort to overturn the election results.
