The Federal and State investigations into the fake electors is like a double barrel shotgun.

The fake electors who signed their names to forged documents and then sent them to the national archives are being investigating and will most likely be indicted. We are talking about a lot of people, perhaps dozens.

All of these traitors will have two choices, Make a plea deal or go to trial. Either way their indictments will lead Federal and State prosecutors to people in the Trump Whitehouse. It was already reported people like Rudy were in charge of the fake electors. I watched a Trump lawyer on the news say Rudy was in charge of the fake electors. People like Eastman and Navarro were also part of the fake elector scheme. The DOJ just reported Navarro turned down a plea deal recently. Eastman had his phone confiscated by the Feds.

AG Willis sent target letters to the fake electors in Georgia. In time they will be indicted.

The fake electors investigations at both the Federal and State level are going to engulf many people who were involved in the coup. Not just the fake electors. You don't have to be a lawyer to understand, when you sign your name to a forged document that claims you are the true electors, you are fucked.

But I would hope that the loss of voting rights would be part of the sentencing.

Arizona's AG isn't talking - he's running for Senate and doesn't want to upset the MAGA crowd - so no one knows if anything will happen to the fake electors on the state level.

document that was to be scrutinized by scores of bodies/eyes/agencies, then on to the national archives.

What happened to these people, did they get caught up in a frenzy of utter stupidity that totally dulled their collective judgment?

Not smart.
