Dana Nessel, the attorney general of Michigan, acted swiftly by accusing 16 people of several charges. These accusations relate to their participation in a dishonest and illegal “false electors” plan that happened following the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
A group of people allegedly met in secret in December 2020 and are now being accused of pretending to be Michigan voters. In an effort to rig the 2020 election, they reportedly submitted phony documents to the National Archives and the US Senate.

The accused defendants are Clifford Frost of Warren, Amy Facchinello of Grand Blanc, William (Hank) Choate of Cement City, and Kathy Berden of Snover. Six charges are brought against each defendant, including one each for conspiracy to commit forgery and election law forgery, which each carries a potential sentence of up to 14 and 5 years in jail.
“The false electors’ actions undermined the public’s faith in the integrity of our elections and, we believe, also plainly violated the laws by which we administer our elections in Michigan,” said Nessel.
“My department has prosecuted numerous cases of election law violations throughout my tenure, and it would be malfeasance of the greatest magnitude if my department failed to act here in the face of overwhelming evidence of an organized effort to circumvent the lawfully cast ballots of millions of Michigan voters in a presidential election.”
On December 14, the accused allegedly got together in the basement of the Michigan Republican Party’s administrative building and signed several certificates certifying that they were the “duly elected and qualified electors for President and Vice President of the United States of America for the State of Michigan.” In an effort to give the state’s electoral votes to a candidate not chosen by the people of Michigan, these documents were subsequently sent to the US Senate and National Archives.

“The evidence will demonstrate there was no legal authority for the false electors to purport to act as ‘duly elected presidential electors’ and execute the false electoral documents,” Nessel continued. “Every serious challenge to the election had been denied, dismissed, or otherwise rejected by the time the false electors convened. There was no legitimate legal avenue or plausible use of such a document or an alternative slate of electors.”
The accusations have been disclosed to the defendants and their legal representatives. Each defendant’s arraignment date will be set by the 54-A District Court in Ingham County.
The Michigan Department of Attorney General is examining the prospect of filing charges against more participants in this inquiry, which is currently continuing. The arraignments for each of the 16 suspects who have already been charged will take place in Ingham County’s 54-A District Court. The court has not yet set any dates for next hearings.
