Clark County, Nevada, District Court Judge Mary Kay Holthus recently made headlines for dismissing the 'fake electors' case related to the 2020 presidential election. The case involved six Republicans accused of illegally submitting certificates to Congress certifying Trump as the winner of the election.
Judge Holthus threw out the indictment, citing that the Nevada Attorney General's office chose the wrong venue for the case. The defendants argued that the alleged fraudulent documents were signed and submitted in Carson City, a more Republican-leaning region, rather than in Las Vegas where the case was brought.
