‘You have literally, in my opinion, committed a crime that has occurred in another jurisdiction,’ the judge says.
In another ‘Oops!’ moment for stupid Democrats’ DEI-filled world, a Clark County judge ruled that the case of six alternate electors for the Republican party was dismissed as the prosecutors failed to prove that Clark County was the proper venue to handle the case.
“It’s so appropriately up north and so appropriately not here,” Judge Mary Kay Holthus remarked.
“What exactly occurred here to give us jurisdiction?” Holthus said during Friday’s hearing, according to the New York Times. “I mean, let’s face it, the majority of this happened elsewhere, the way I read it.”
She also called off the scheduler trial for the defendants next January, which includes state GOP chair Michael McDonald, national party committee member Jim DeGraffenreid, national and Douglas County committee member Shawn Meehan, and Eileen Rice, a party member from Lake Tahoe.
The defendants were charged with offering a false instrument, filing and uttering a forged instrument, and felonies that imposed up to five years of imprisonment.
Defense lawyers argued that Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford improperly handed the case in Las Vegas instead of Carson City or Reno, cities that are a lot near where the so-called crime took place.
Meanwhile, Ford could only offer a one-liner reaction on the matter, “The judge got it wrong, and we’ll be appealing immediately,” and did not provide any more details.
One lawyer for the defendants, Margaret McLetchie, argued that the case was already dead. “They’re done,” she asserted.
She added that the attorney general would be violating the three-year statute of limitation on filing charges, which expired in December 2023, if he now brought the case to another grand jury in another venue such as Carson City.
Another attorney for the alternate electors, Richard Wright, remarked in January that prosecutors made a “politically expedient” decision by bringing the case in Clark County.
He told the Nevada Independent, “The venue that’s appropriate is Carson City and Minden.”
“That’s a Republican area, so I’ll be anxious to hear why the attorney general chose [Las Vegas] as the convenient forum. To me, it’s painfully obvious. Because it’s Democratic.”
Nevada was among the seven key swing states where several alternate electors argued that President Donald Trump had won the 2020 general election. Other states indicting GOP electors, including President Trump, were Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.
