VIRGINIA CITY, Nev. (AP) — The man who will oversee elections in one rural county in Nevada next year has pleaded not guilty, along with five fellow Republicans, on charges that they submitted false paperwork claiming Donald Trump had won the state in 2020. Despite that, Jim Hindle says he has no plans to step down from his post overseeing elections in Storey County, Nevada — and he’s not alone. Arizona, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania also have Republicans who have been swept up in the fake electors scheme and continue to play roles in elections in their communities next year. Michigan is a rare example where one elector has been barred from running an election in the wake of the allegations.
