State of Nevada v. Michael J. McDonald, et al. is a state criminal prosecution concerning the Trump fake electors plot in Nevada. The six defendants are accused of offering a false instrument or record and uttering a forged instrument to falsely claim Trump won the state's electoral votes in the 2020 U.S. presidential election in Nevada.[2][3] Among the accused is Michael J. McDonald, Nevada's state GOP chairman, as well as Clark County GOP chairman Jesse Law.[4]
All six defendants pleaded not guilty, with the case set to go to trial on January 13, 2025.[5]
Background
Democratic nominee Joe Biden won the state's presidential election in Nevada, defeating Republican nominee Donald Trump in the popular vote by 33,596 votes, and gaining all of the state's six electoral votes.[6] Trump and his allies, however, refused to accept the election results and launched an ultimately unsuccessful campaign to remain in power via subverting the election results.[7]
