Supreme Court won’t wade into Michigan ‘fake elector’ bid against state
by Ella Lee - 10/14/25 9:46 AM ET
The Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to weigh an appeal from a Michigan Republican who signed a document falsely claiming President Trump won the state’s 2020 presidential race.
Clifford James Frost alleged that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel’s (D) criminal case against him and 15 other “fake electors” was pursued in bad faith and asked the justices to block it from moving forward.
“The AG brought the Michigan Criminal Prosecution with no reasonable expectation of obtaining valid convictions against the Republican Electors,” Frost’s lawyers claimed in his petition to the justices.
“She did so to retaliate against and/or punish the Republican Electors – all of whom are political opponents of the AG – for their unsuccessful efforts to protest the outcome of the election,” they continued.
