A trio of Trumpworld denizens involved in the so-called “alternate,” or fake, electors plot following the 2020 presidential election have been charged with felony counts of forgery in Wisconsin.

Attorneys Kenneth “Ken” Chesebro, James “Jim” Troupis, and former Trump 2020 campaign staffer Michael “Mike” Roman now stand accused of one count each of forgery by uttering, according to a 47-page criminal complaint filed in Dane County Circuit Court on Tuesday.

The statute being used to prosecute the three makes it a Class H felony for anyone who “utters as genuine or possesses with intent to utter as false or as genuine any forged writing or object mentioned in sub. (1), knowing it to have been thus falsely made or altered.”

The cross-referenced statute — referred to as “sub. (1)” — makes it a crime for anyone who “with intent to defraud falsely makes or alters a writing or object of any of the following kinds so that it purports to have been made by another, or at another time, or with different provisions, or by authority of one who did not give such authority.”
