LAS VEGAS (AP) — The yearslong case against six Nevada Republicans who were accused of submitting a bogus certificate that falsely declared Donald Trump the winner of the state's 2020 presidential election has been dismissed, a judge ruled Thursday.
The dismissal marks the latest setback in swing states' efforts to prosecute fake electors who tried to keep Trump in the White House after he lost to Joe Biden in 2020.
Three other fake elector cases in Arizona, Michigan and Georgia have been dismissed. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes recently dismissed her office's criminal case but vowed to bring it back to a grand jury in hopes of securing another indictment. The dismissal was a legal maneuver aimed at getting around a deadline for starting new grand jury proceedings after Mayes lost an appeal earlier in June.
Nevada Attorney General Aaron Ford, who is also running for governor as a Democrat, brought charges relating to forgery and "offering a false instrument for filing or record" against the six Nevada Republicans, who pleaded not guilty.
His office plans to appeal the ruling.

Dear Uncle Mel,
My mom told me that you are in the hospital. I hope you feel better. I will be coming to Indy in a couple of weeks. I hope I see you so I can give you a big hug. If you feel better, I can come to see your horses. I'm starting basketball back up. I hope you get to see me play someday.
Love Hudson

24-year-old cancer survivor nearly dies after eating friend’s home-cooked dinner
A dangerous dinner party left a young cancer survivor hospitalized with a rare, life-threatening illness.
After sharing a meal with friends last month, 24-year-old Trinity Peterson-Mayes found herself unable to swallow, speak or move.
“Slowly, over the course of 24 hours, I went from not being able to chug water to not being able to drink any water at all,” Peterson-Mayes told Arizona outlet KPNX.
After violently choking on a sip of coffee, a distressed Peterson-Mayes sought emergency medical attention.
