Mayra Rodriguez — a Michigan lawyer whose name appears on a fake certificate that tried to award the state’s Electoral College votes to Donald Trump — could face professional repercussions stemming from her actions in 2020 that prompted the Michigan commission responsible for probing attorneys' misconduct to recommend disciplinary action against her.
The Michigan Attorney Grievance Commission filed a complaint against Rodriguez with the Attorney Discipline Board last month. A hearing panel for the board could decide whether Rodriguez should be disbarred, suspended, reprimanded or placed on probation.
She declined to comment on the matter in a brief phone call with the Free Press on Wednesday.
Rodriguez is the only licensed Michigan lawyer in the group of Trump electors, according to a search of attorneys on the State Bar of Michigan’s website.
The National Archives rejected the fake certificate of electors in the wake of the 2020 election and notified Attorney General Dana Nessel, who referred the matter to federal prosecutors. Nessel said at the time that those involved in the effort committed crimes but the effort was appropriate for a federal probe because it appeared to be part of a multistate conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election.
But Nessel's office reopened a criminal probe into Michigan’s fake electors earlier this year, seeming to grow frustrated with the pace at which federal authorities have moved to investigate interference in the 2020 election.
