Some attorneys general are looking into the case of the illegitimate electors who tried to fudge the results of the election.
According to documents obtained by the watchdog group American Oversight, Republican supporters of Trump submitted documents to Congress that claimed he won the states after the majority of votes went to Joe Biden.
The 2020 certificates of electoral votes that weren't already published in the 2020 Electoral College Results were requested by American Oversight.
The violent attack on the U.S. Capitol in January was caused by the coordinated, multi-state effort to cast doubt on the 2020 election and undermine the electoral vote process.
Insider reached out to Attorneys General in each state to get their reaction to the findings. In Nevada, Attorney General Ford said his office can't confirm or deny the existence of an investigation, but said the report is on their radar, and they take seriously any attempts to rob Nevadans of their votes.
There has been an effort to invalidate the 2020 election and to downplay the shocking actions that took place after. Any attempts to overturn a free and fair election will not be accepted by my office. Ford said in a statement that voting rights are fundamental to the democratic republic.
The incident is being reviewed by the New Mexico Attorney General.
The foundation of our democracy is the election laws. While review under state law is ongoing, we have referred this matter to the appropriate federal law enforcement authorities and will provide any assistance they deem necessary, Balderas said.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General's office said in a statement to Insider that they don't believe the incident meets the legal standards for forgery.
During the 2020 election certification process, the office said that Pennsylvania Republicans planned to submit their own ballots to perpetuate the Big Lie. The "fake ballots" were only to be used if a court overturned the results in Pennsylvania.
Attorneys General in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin did not respond to Insider's request for comment.
Matthew Westphal, an assistant district attorney in Milwaukee, said he consulted with the attorney general over whether or not to investigate the 10 Republicans who certified the vote for Trump.
Westphal said that federal prosecutors should handle the investigation. The matter should be investigated at the federal level, according to the Journal.
In Michigan, Attorney General Dana Nessel told MSNBC that she thinks you have forgery of a public record, which is a 14-year offense, and election law forgery, which is a five-year offense.
American Oversight's findings come before reports in September of 2020 that an attorney for Trump had written a memo detailing a plan to overturn the election. The forged certificates were mentioned in the memo.
CNN and The Washington Post reported on Thursday that members of Trump's inner circle coordinated the illegitimate election.
The select House committee is investigating the January 6 riot. The illegitimate elector scheme and the role Trump and his affiliates played in it are being looked into by the select committee.
"We want to look at the fraudulent activity that was contained in the preparation of these fake Electoral College certificates," said Rep. Jamie Raskin. We want to see if this was part of a plan to overthrow the 2020 election.
