A Trump aide and two of his attorneys have been criminally charged for their role in Wisconsin’s 2020 election fake scheme.

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported:
Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul filed felony forgery charges against an aide and two attorneys who worked for former President Donald Trump in 2020 for their role in designing and executing a A plan to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election by submitting false slates of electors.
…
Kaul filed charges in Dane County Circuit Court against Kenneth Chesebro, a Wisconsin native and chief architect of the 2020 election falsehood scheme; former Dane County Judge Jim Troupis Jim Troupis, who represented Trump in Wisconsin during the 2020 election; and former Trump aide Mike Roman, who allegedly handed a series of false election documents from Wisconsin to the Pennsylvania congressman’s staff, to hand it over to Vice President Mike Pence on January 6, 2021.
Members of state election fraud conspiracies have now been charged in Georgia, Nevada, Arizona, Wisconsin and Michigan. Pennsylvania’s fake electors avoided charges by adding qualifying language to their forms that indicated they would only be electors if the state’s election results were overturned.
There are seven swing states in the 2020 election, five of which have brought criminal charges for participating in Trump’s conspiracy.
There’s no way of knowing whether these criminal charges would sway voters in those states. However, the national media often ignores the importance of these cases because they view presidential elections from a national perspective rather than what they really are: a series of separate elections in 50 states.
Trump tried to deceive voters in these states in 2020, and he already plans to try again in 2024.
The bad news keeps coming for Trump, as his alleged crimes in 2020 won’t go away in states critical to the 2024 outcome.
