Wisconsin is the last state that may prosecute Trump's fake electors, but AG Josh Kaul is mum
After Arizona became the fourth state to bring charges against fake electors involved in the Trump campaign's alleged scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election Wednesday night, eyes turned to the three remaining states where the effort took place: New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
Officials in New Mexico and Pennsylvania have said they are unlikely to prosecute Trump allies who sent documents to then-Vice President Mike Pence purporting to certify Trump won the election in their state, because those fake electors placed certain limits on their claims. That leaves Wisconsin as the state most likely still to pursue charges.
Prosecutors had already filed charges in Michigan, Nevada and Georgia. In Georgia, defendants include Trump himself, former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. And Trump is facing federal charges in Washington, D.C., of conspiracy and obstruction related to the effort. Trump has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to declare him immune from those charges.
The top law enforcement official in Wisconsin hasn’t tipped his hand on whether his office is investigating the question, but he also hasn’t ruled out prosecution.
