Nevada judge dismisses forgery case against 2020 Republican electors

The decision halts state efforts to prosecute individuals who submitted certificates claiming Trump won the state. Judge Mary Kay Holthus dismissed the criminal charges because Clark County was the improper venue. The forgery charges targeted six Republicans who signed documents declaring themselves official electors. Prosecutors argued the case belonged in Las Vegas because the documents were processed there. The defense successfully argued that the alleged illegal acts occurred in the state capital. This dismissal of the criminal case follows similar legal challenges in other states regarding the 2020 election results.
