Clark County District Judge Mary Kay Holthus on Thursday dismissed criminal charges against six Republicans accused of falsely declaring Donald Trump the winner of Nevada’s 2020 presidential election.
Holthus said there was not enough evidence to prove the charges against the defendants, according to the court ruling.
The dismissed charges had been part of the state’s effort to prosecute individuals tied to so-called “fake electors” who sought to cast disputed electoral votes after the 2020 election, prosecutors had said.
The decision removes the criminal case against the six defendants and represents a setback for Nevada prosecutors pursuing allegations related to post-election electors, court records show.
