Arizona Republican becomes first fake elector to plead guilty for role in Trump scheme

It’s the second victory for Arizona prosecutors this week in their sweeping case against many Trump allies.

An Arizona Republican who falsely claimed to be a legitimate presidential elector for former President Donald Trump — part of a sweeping effort by Trump and his allies to subvert the 2020 election — has pleaded guilty for her role in the scheme.

Lorraine Pellegrino, one of 11 Arizona Republicans who falsely posed as Trump’s electors that year, accepted a guilty plea to a single charge for filing a “false instrument” — the fraudulent Electoral College certificate. The state charge was one of several she faced for allegedly joining in a conspiracy to corrupt Arizona’s election results.

Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes charged the 11 fake electors, as well as several top Trump allies, in a broad indictment in April. Trump himself was not charged in the Arizona case, but he was identified by a state grand jury as an unindicted coconspirator. Trump was also charged federally and in Georgia with felonies arising from his fake elector scheme and other efforts to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory.

It’d be good if they can get the rest of them soon. Hopefully this’ll serve as an example to any would be fake electors in the coming election.

I think I have a mix of dyslexia and some kind of hallucinations, because I read that as can’t get to the restroom soon, and I just exploded and laughter.

Republicans are stand up guys, at least they admit their mistakes. The Dems are hypocrites who contest every election; you don’t see them pleading guilty.

Deep state prosecutors aren’t even going after them. Doesn’t anyone find the lack of evidence they’re doing crimes suspicious?

cynthorpe ,

Evidence? That’s the path to Satan.

I’m interested to see how maga tries to spin this in a positive way or if they’ll just completely ignore it
