A Michigan judge has thrown out criminal charges against 15 Republicans who were accused of acting as "fake electors" for President Trump in the 2020 election.

Surprisingly, the judge who threw out the charges, District Court Judge Kristen D. Simmons, was appointed by Democratic governor Gretchen Whitmer.

Simmons found that the 15 Republicans did not commit fraud because they sincerely believed that there was cheating in the 2020 election.

"I believe they were executing their constitutional right to seek redress,” Simmons added.

"Fake electors" vindicated

The ruling is a crushing blow to the left's propaganda machine, which ever since 2020 has tried to convince people that efforts to challenge the election were criminal attacks on "democracy."

Here we have a Democrat judge who is acknowledging that, in fact, Americans have a right to seek redress for their grievances, however unfounded some may find them to be.

Contrary to the left's overblown "coup" narrative, Simmons pointed out that the so-called fake electors did not put together any sophisticated plot.

“The prosecution would like the court to believe that these named defendants were savvy or sophisticated enough to understand fully the electoral process,” Simmons said in the hearing.

“This alternate document doesn’t state it’s an official document of the state of Michigan, doesn’t contain a certificate of vote, no one attempted to forge the governor’s signature, no one attempted to create a fake seal.”

Democrats seethe

The case in Michigan was one of several to be brought against Trump and his allies over so-called "fake" pro-Trump electors in the 2020 election.

The Michigan case was brought two years ago by attorney general Dana Nessel, a notoriously partisan Democratic operator who has made no apologies about weaponizing law enforcement for political ends.

Disgraced prosecutor Jack Smith cited the "fake electors plot" in his since-abandoned case for "election interference" against Trump, and Republicans in other states have faced charges for being "fake electors."

"Major consequences" needed

Nicholas Somberg, an attorney for former Michigan Republican Party Co-Chair Meshawn Maddock, said, "There needs to be major consequences for the people who brought this.

"Yes, we volunteered to be an Alternate Elector in support of Donald J. Trump. That is not a crime, as much as Nessel wanted it to be one.”

You know this case was nonsense when even a Democrat-appointed judge refused to let it advance. Now that it has been thrown out, the wrongly accused want justice for what they have been through.

Nessel expressed "disappointment" in Simmons' ruling, and she insists that the "fake electors" somehow threatened to disenfranchise millions of voters. But nobody believes it anymore.

Keep seething, Nessel.
