Judge: GA Fake Electors Can’t Move To Federal Court

The Hill reports:

A judge Friday denied attempts by three “fake electors” charged in Georgia alongside former President Trump to move their charges to federal court, finding they were not federal officials.

U.S. District Judge Steve Jones’s rulings round out the remaining defendants who attempted to move their cases. Jones had already rejected attempts by two other defendants in the case.

In three separate, yet similar rulings, Jones said the fake electors — David Shafer, Shawn Still and Cathy Latham — could not claim they were acting as federal officials when they met in the Georgia state capitol in December 2020 and signed documents purporting to be the state’s electors.
