Amid federal investigations into former President Donald Trump and the 2020 fake elector scheme that saw Nevada Republicans attempt to claim the state’s six electoral votes for Trump even though Joe Biden won the popular vote, Democratic Attorney General Aaron Ford is defending his decision not to say much about whether those "electors" will face state prosecution.
In an interview Tuesday, Ford said he does not comment on the existence of any investigations, regardless of subject, though he added that his office has been working with the federal government in its investigation.
State law requires the secretary of state’s presence at any electoral ceremony. Nevada Republicans did not have then-Secretary of State Barbara Cegavske at their ceremony, but submitted documents to the National Archives that declared themselves “duly elected and qualified electors” anyway.
“It's on our radar,” Ford told The Nevada Independent Tuesday. “I know it's unsatisfactory, relative to what people want to hear, but again … I can't be persuaded to speak on something that could potentially jeopardize anything that we are doing.”
His comments come shortly after the congressional January 6 Committee released its final report last month, which include deposition transcripts inferring that the Trump campaign was intimately involved in plans to advance an illegitimate slate of electors in Nevada.
