So a Nevada judge finally looked at this fake elector case and did what judges are supposed to do. She followed the law. Judge Mary Kay Holthus dismissed the whole thing for lack of jurisdiction, and six Republicans who’ve been living under felony forgery charges for a year and a half can go back to their lives.
Funny how that works when someone actually reads the statute.
The case against Nevada GOP chair Michael McDonald, Clark County Republican chairman Jesse Law, and four others was always political theater dressed up as criminal justice. A grand jury in Clark County handed down indictments in December 2023, and the attorney general’s office couldn’t even get the venue right. They started in Carson City, then voluntarily dismissed and refiled in Las Vegas. Ask yourself why you’d move a case from the state capital to Clark County. Because Clark County leans Democratic, that’s why. They were shopping for a jury pool, not pursuing justice.
The judge saw right through it. No jurisdiction, no case. Done.
And it’s not just Nevada. The whole fake elector prosecution crusade is collapsing everywhere you look. Michigan’s case got tossed. Georgia’s got dismissed. Arizona’s attorney general Kris Mayes had to drop hers too, though she’s promising to run it back to a grand jury like a gambler doubling down at the blackjack table. Good luck with that. The federal case against Trump himself for conspiring to overturn the 2020 election? Dropped after he beat Kamala Harris in November. Every single one of these cases was going to save democracy, and every single one of them has either been thrown out or quietly shelved.
Edmond Dantès / PexelsHere’s what the experts and the talking heads won’t tell you. These were never about law. They were about punishment for the wrong politics. You had Democratic prosecutors in swing states filing criminal charges against people for participating in a legal strategy that had precedent going back decades. Both parties have filed alternate elector slits. Nobody went to prison for it before 2023. But suddenly, when it’s Republicans doing it, it’s a felony.
The establishment spent four years telling you these prosecutions were the most important thing since Nuremberg. Now they’re dust. The Nevada AG is already appealing to the state Supreme Court, because of course she is. When the swamp loses, it doesn’t accept the loss. It just finds another court.
But here’s the thing. Every time one of these cases falls apart, a few more people start asking questions. Why was the case moved to a Democratic county? Why did it take a judge to point out the obvious jurisdiction problem? Why did four separate prosecutions across four states all collapse?
The answer is the same one the experts never want you to reach. The cases were never as strong as they told you. The people pushing them knew it. And the little guy was supposed to just nod along and trust the plan.
The plan fell apart. Again.
