Arizona 's "fake electors" case is now in Judge Bruce Cohen's hands.

Defendants argued that the indictment against 11 people who signed documents claiming to be Arizona 's Electoral College electors in 2020 should be dismissed on grounds that they were exercising their First Amendment rights.

The state defended its case, arguing the charges the defendants face for engaging in fraud, forgeries and conspiracy were not related to their political speech.

The hearing, originally slated to last only one day, dragged on for three after at least a dozen defendants requested the case be dismissed.

The protracted process led to more defendants and lawyers attending the hearings virtually as each day went by.

On Tuesday , Bobb 's lawyer, Thomas Jacobs , turned on his camera to reveal he was attending virtually from his boat.
