A spokesperson for Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford told The Washington Post that the state plans to “immediately” appeal the judge’s decision. The statute of limitations ran out shortly after the case was filed in Clark County, which appears to make refiling the case in another jurisdiction impossible.
Three of the Nevada Republicans referred questions to their attorneys, who did not immediately return phone calls. The other three Republicans did not immediately return phone calls or could not immediately be reached.
Republicans in four other states — Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and Wisconsin — separately face charges from local or state prosecutors. Their cases are not affected by Friday’s decision.
Republicans in the remaining states, Pennsylvania and New Mexico, were not charged. Unlike in other states, the paperwork they submitted included language saying their electoral ballots should be counted only if Trump were determined to be the actual winner.
