Three individuals, including former Wisconsin judge Jim Troupis, are facing felony forgery charges related to the 2020 fake electors scheme. The charges carry a maximum penalty of six years in prison and a $10,000 fine. The defendants appeared in court, with Troupis criticizing the state's attorney general for what he called a politically motivated attack on him and his family.
The defendants are accused of creating a document falsely stating that Trump had won Wisconsin's Electoral College votes and attempting to deliver it to then-Vice President Mike Pence for certification. The complaint alleges that most electors felt pressured to sign the document to preserve legal options in case the election outcome changed in court.
