The six defendants were each indicted on two felony forgery charges related to documents that falsely claimed that Donald Trump won the state's electoral votes in the 2020 U.S. presidential election in Nevada.

On June 21, 2024, a judge dismissed the case on the grounds of improper venue, with prosecutors appealing to the Supreme Court of Nevada.

[8][9] In May 2023, Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford testified that the fake electors would likely not be charged as he did not believe they had violated any specific law.

The indictment stems from the sending of a document falsely ascertaining that Trump had won the state.

[15] On June 21, 2024, the judge presiding over the case dismissed it on the basis that Clark County was the wrong venue to file the case as no elements of the alleged crime had occurred there; the casting of votes had occurred in Carson City and the documents were mailed from Douglas County.
