The Arizona Supreme Court denies a prosecutor’s appeal seeking to overturn an order that sends the state’s “fake elector” case back to a grand jury. The case concerns alleged efforts connected to the 2020 presidential election in which a group of supporters of President Donald Trump were accused of submitting fraudulent elector certificates after the election. The matter is one of several criminal cases tied to those efforts that remain in the state. According to reports, the case was filed nearly three and a half years after the 2020 election. The litigation involves complicated conspiracy-related charges that name 18 defendants. By refusing the prosecutor’s challenge, the court allows the proceedings to continue toward renewed grand jury review rather than resolving the case at the current stage. The decision keeps the focus on whether the charges can proceed based on the grand jury’s consideration. The ruling therefore preserves the lower court’s direction to restart or extend the grand jury process for the allegations at issue.
