PHOENIX — Attorney General Kris Mayes is going to have to start from scratch if she hopes to charge — much less convict — people involved in the “fake elector” scheme.
In an 18-word order Thursday, the Supreme Court left intact the ruling by Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Sam Myers that the original 2024 indictment was legally flawed.
Myers said grand jurors were never given a copy of the 1887 federal Electoral Count Act, which directed Congress how to deal when they get multiple slates of electors from any state. And that, he said, denied them information that could have made a difference in their decision whether or not to indict.
