Michigan won’t appeal dismissal of 2020 election charge against 16 over false electoral certificates.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced she will not appeal the dismissal of criminal charges against 16 individuals accused of signing false electoral certificates in 2020 to falsely claim Donald Trump won the state, citing insufficient evidence of criminal intent and the high cost and low likelihood of success.
Judge Kristen Simmons, appointed by Governor Gretchen Whitmer, ruled prosecutors failed to meet the burden to bind the case over for trial.
Nessel stated she still believes the actions were wrong and part of a broader effort led by Trump to overturn Joe Biden’s victory, but concluded it would be unjust to pursue lower-level participants while the alleged mastermind remains unpunished.
She released a detailed report to preserve the factual record.
The decision ends a high-profile case amid similar dismissals in other states, with Trump pardoning many involved in the 2020 election challenges, though the pardon does not apply to state charges.
