Arizona is the fourth state to bring charges against electors who falsely cast votes for Trump in states that President Biden won, along with Michigan, Georgia and Nevada.

New Mexico, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin are the states which have yet to indict their fraudulent electors.

Don't worry, if these kinds of people can get Trump in regardless of the will of the people, Trump will pardon them for this crime.

The president can't pardon state crimes, you need a governor for that

SCOTUS majority (probably): The electoral college is defined by the Constitution, state law doesn't apply to electors, they have to be prosecuted in Federal court.
