Georgia
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel filed charges against 16 Trump electors claiming they intended to defraud the American people. On August 14, 2023, Fulton County, Georgia District Attorney Fanny Willis announced criminal charges against former President Trump, three of his electors, and fifteen others related to actions pertaining to the 2020 presidential election.
These charges represent the further weaponization of government by stretching the law to harm political opponents.
After numerous investigations by multiple state and federal agencies and legacy media there is not one allegation or predicate fact identified in either indictment claiming that the persons charged were ever involved in violence, ever threatened violence, or encouraged violence. Not one! Yet, these individuals face decades in prison.
Moreover, questions regarding the 2020 election are still very much unresolved. A coordinated and internationally funded coalition of nonprofits, Big Tech, government agencies and bureaucrats, and far left officials converted the campaign offices of the urban core in the swing states into partisan voter turnout centers while censuring conservative speech. These actions violated state laws designed to ensure elections are transparent, inclusive, and accountable. The full impact of these actions is still not known, and the government is refusing to allow a meaningful review. These criminal charges are perhaps designed to ensure that review never happens.
Additionally, the criminalization of conversations questioning the conduct of elections is led by those who in the past spent a great deal of time, wealth, and energy questioning the conduct of elections.
In 2016, Ms. Christine Pelosi, daughter of former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, formed the “Hamilton Electors” and led a nationwide pressure campaign to have electors violate state law and vote against their pledged candidate, Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump. The Hamilton Electors project raised millions of dollars, called for protests, and gave out public information on the electors.
Additionally, former US intelligence officials wrote an open letter asking for electors to violate state and federal law by delaying the electoral college vote so that a full investigation of Trump-Russian collusion was completed. This collusion claim has since been debunked and evidence shows the claims were based on a dossier paid for and supported by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
The Hamilton Elector push caused great national frustration and the United States experienced more than two weeks of riots resulting in bloodshed and property damage in 2016.
Law enforcement then, however, acted properly and only investigated and prosecuted those encouraging and engaging in violence, and those who threatened public officials. Campaign officials, party leaders, candidates, and elected leaders who were vigorous in challenging the election but who did not engage in violence were not investigated, and never faced criminal scrutiny.
We live in a different America today, with different leaders.
Those criminally charged include grandparents, community leaders, a former US Marine, a pastor, political activists, attorneys, and business leaders. Many of the electors were also electors in 2016 and received numerous threats of violence during the tumultuous efforts of the Hamilton project.
They face financial ruin and years in prison. You can meet them on these pages. Please join us in defending the electors.

Despite the current narrative, originally, the news was reporting that Misty had pointed out issues with voting machines that could have resulted in voter fraud, and provided examples of how “ elections supervisors to override votes or accept double votes within the electronic adjudication process, as well as scan and electronically vote on blank ballots.” The Coffee County Election Board even reported to the Georgia Secretary of State that they were unable to certify the results due to “‘inability to repeatably [sic] duplicate creditable election results.’” However, “[t]he state officials said they ultimately learned the Coffee County Board of Elections had told Martin to ‘go home’ and the work would start again after the weekend. After being contacted Monday and told that the recount had to be completed immediately, it was done, according to Raffensperger’s office.”
