Nearly a sixth of Donald Trump’s fake electors are back as his 2024 electors in key swing states. Several others are still in positions of political power across the country — despite criminal indictments and other efforts to hold them accountable.
Of the 82 slated Republican electors in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, 14 people who took part in Trump’s scheme to overturn legitimate results in 2020 are listed among Republicans’ representatives to the Electoral College this election cycle.
“We have certainly not seen sufficient accountability for the individuals who masterminded this effort,” said Jessica Marsden, counsel at the nonprofit group Protect Democracy, which fights attacks on the U.S. democratic process.
