WASHINGTON – In April, a Maricopa County grand jury indicted 11 state Republicans for their alleged roles in the “fake electors” scheme to attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election in Donald Trump’s favor. Three of the defendants will be delegates at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee in July.
