There are some new details in a fake elector case in Wisconsin. A settlement has been reached in a fake elector case in Wisconsin from the 2020 presidential election.

Two men turned over more than 1,400 pages of documents, emails, and text messages. It's a strategy used in six other states, including Georgia, where Chesboro has already pleaded guilty.
