Arizona AG Kris Mayes has moved to dismiss the 2024 "fake electors" prosecution against Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and 16 others. The detail buried under the headlines: it was dismissed without prejudice, which means the charges can be refiled.
The move came against a June 19 court deadline, after the state lost an appeal over a defective indictment. Mayes says she intends to bring the case back to a grand jury, while defense attorneys are pushing to have it dismissed permanently. It's the third state-level fake electors case to be dismissed.
