Trial date set for January 2026 in Arizona fake electors case

Published August 27, 2024 10:07am ET



A judge in Maricopa County set a trial date for Jan. 5, 2026, for the state’s case against Arizona’s “fake electors,” who were involved in trying to overturn the 2020 election.

As it stands, the trial will now begin nearly five years after the alleged crimes were committed. The fake electors are allies of former President Donald Trump who were charged earlier this year for their role in a criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
