    Cheese bro really just shows up everywhere, doesn’t he. Though I guess showing up in Wisconsin makes sense.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    The charges were filed against Trump attorneys Kenneth Chesebro and Jim Troupis and former Trump aide Mike Roman who allegedly delivered Wisconsin’s fake elector paperwork to a Pennsylvania congressman’s staffer in order to get them to Vice President Mike Pence on Jan. 6, 2021.

    Kaul, a Democrat, has faced pressure to bring action against the 10 fake electors, who have yet to be charged with any criminal wrongdoing.

    The fake elector efforts are central to an August federal indictment filed against Trump alleging he tried to overturn results of the 2020 election.

    Federal prosecutors, investigating his conduct related to the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, have also said the scheme originated in Wisconsin.

    Documents released as part of those settlements showed that the strategy in Wisconsin replicated moves in six other swing states.

    Government and outside investigationshave uniformly found there was no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could have swung the 2020 election.
