The Republican parties of Michigan , Pennsylvania , New Mexico and Nevada have each nominated one or more electors who attempted to submit themselves as electors for Donald Trump and Mike Pence in 2020 despite the former president losing in their states.

In 2020 , despite a majority of voters in New Mexico , Nevada , Georgia , Wisconsin , Pennsylvania and Michigan voting for Biden , Republican electors went ahead and submitted certificates for Trump , mimicking the process they would have performed if Trump had won.

False electors face criminal prosecution in Arizona , Michigan and Georgia for their role in attempting to overturn the presidential election.
