A Nevada judge on Friday dismissed charges against Republicans who filed a slate of pro-Trump electors in the 2020 election, citing a lack of jurisdiction.
A Nevada grand jury in December indicted the six Republicans as part of a case from Nevada Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford. Clark County District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus asserted that the case should be held in Carson City or Douglas County, the Nevada Independent reported. The pro-Trump slate was signed in Carson City and the relevant documents were mailed from Douglas County.
“You have literally, in my opinion, a crime that has occurred in another jurisdiction. It’s so appropriately up north and so appropriately not here,” she said.
