Stanley Grot , Timothy King and Kent Vandwerwood had their cases back in court this week in front of Ingham County District Judge Kristen Simmons , who will decide whether there is enough evidence against those charged in the case to send them on to trial in circuit court.

16 people charged last year by the Michigan Attorney General’s Office with several felonies, accused of fraudulently submitting fake electoral votes for former President Donald Trump to the U.S. Senate and National Archives .

Attorney General Shock confirmed that the document the defendants all signed affirmed that as required by Michigan ’s faithful electors provision, MCL 168.47 , they were casting their votes for Trump and Pence as the duly sworn electors.

Shock was also asked by Vanderwood 's attorney Brian Lennons whether there was a witness or document that would confirm his client ever reviewed any documents, altered or not, by Kenneth Chesebro or anyone else from the Donald Trump campaign.
