    On Sunday, several of Nevada’s fake electors attended a Trump rally in Reno, where the former president thanked three of them personally, including Hindle and McDonald, while saying they were treated unfairly. He did not mention the specific charges.

    These people shouldn’t be allowed to oversee any part of our election. They are working for Trump’s interest and not the voters.

      Yeah, it blows my mind that enough evidence exists to indict some of them (probably all of them), and yet they can have another go in '24 now knowing what got them caught previously.

      Maybe it’s time to do electors like we do jurors, everyone gets a chance via lotto, and a team of officials from each party can question each volunteer in the pool and toss out any that don’t seem on the up and up. However, at the end they ultimately know they can only remove X amount, thus reserving it for people like those in the article.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    But Hindle’s tenure in the heavily Republican county is part of a trend across battleground states where fake electors have retained influence over elections heading into 2024.

    Hindle and the others, who are scheduled to be arraigned Monday, coordinated with Trump’s team directly, according to transcripts of testimony before the U.S. House committee that investigated the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021.

    Spindell and the fake electors in Wisconsin agreed to a settlement this month conceding that their actions were “part of an attempt to improperly overturn the 2020 presidential election results.”

    He is one of three fake electors involved in the state GOP’s organization of a party-run caucus in early February that is scheduled just days after the state-run presidential primary.
