“You Done Messed Up A-A-Ron”

OPINION: Nevada’s Fake Electors Case Shows How Far Aaron Ford Will Go The long, grinding saga of the Nevada “alternate electors” case has finally hit its latest chapter — and if you followed this story from the beginning, the latest update from the U.S. Supreme Court declining to intervene feels less like justice and more like the same political theater we’ve seen since 2020.

Let’s be brutally honest: this case should never have made it this far. Not in Nevada. Not in any state. Not in a country that pretends political prosecutions only happen somewhere else.

Because that’s exactly what this is — political prosecution, plain and simple — driven by Attorney General Aaron Ford, a man who’s made weaponizing his office into a career specialty.

And now, with the Supreme Court stepping aside, Ford gets to keep beating this drum all the way into 2026.

Yes, People Are Saying “They Should Have Known Better” — But Let’s Break That Down

Scroll through Facebook and you’ll see a familiar refrain:

“They should have known Democrats would come after them.”

It’s the devil’s-advocate argument everyone throws out to sound wise in hindsight — as if any Republican in 2020 could have predicted that acting as alternate electors (something Democrats themselves have done in the past) would turn into felony charges four years later.

Let’s be real: if “they should have known better” becomes the standard, then political intimidation won. The whole point of a constitutional system is that people don’t need to assume their political opponents will throw them in jail for participating in contested elections.

That argument doesn’t make the defendants guilty. It exposes exactly why this prosecution is dangerous.

Aaron Ford’s Crusade: Using the Courts as a Campaign Side Kick

Other states had “fake elector” cases — Michigan, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Arizona — but many have already been dismissed, dropped, or reduced. Nevada? It’s the only battleground state still pushing this as if it’s Watergate.

Why? Because Ford gets to play hero for his base.

This case is his political billboard.

And the fact that it’s dragging into 2025 proves the point: the goal isn’t justice — it’s headlines.

Trump’s Pardons Didn’t Save Them — And Maybe Even Hurt Them

Trump pardoned several of the Nevada alternate electors federally, but here’s the ugly truth most people don’t realize:

Federal pardons don’t apply to state charges.

Nevada didn’t care. Aaron Ford definitely didn’t care.

Worse, critics are now using the pardons against the defendants — the warped argument being:

“Well, who pardons innocent people?”

This is the absurdity we’re living with. Pardons are now political Rorschach tests: when Trump issues them, they’re treated as admissions of guilt; when Biden signs auto-pen pardons for offenders (some not even charged yet), we’re told it’s compassionate and forward-thinking.

So spare us the moral lectures.

National Context Matters And Nevada Is Standing Out for All the Wrong Reasons

Across the country, most fake-elector cases have fizzled or fallen apart:

• Michigan: Several charges dismissed outright.
• Arizona: Indictments dropped for some, delays and weakening cases for others.
• Georgia: Still a circus, but even there, prosecutors have narrowed their targets.
• Wisconsin: Civil settlement, not criminal prosecution.

Nevada?
Still full steam ahead like it’s 2021.

Why?
Because Nevada is a battleground state, and Democrats here know that winning the narrative means winning power.

The Real Message: This Isn’t About 2020 — It’s About 2026, 2028, and Every Election After

This case has dragged on for nearly four years not because prosecutors are uncovering new evidence — they’re not — but because the political incentive is too good.

Dragging conservative activists through court sends a message:

Don’t challenge us. Don’t organize. Don’t show up. Don’t participate unless you want your life ruined.

This is the chilling effect Aaron Ford is banking on.

And now, with the Supreme Court stepping out of the way according to the latest AP update, the fight continues — not because it’s righteous, but because Nevada Democrats need it.

They need the spectacle.
They need the headlines.
They need Republicans on defense.

But the story isn’t over.

This case isn’t a symbol of guilt — it’s a symbol of what one partisan attorney general can do when he turns the justice system into a political weapon.

And the defendants? They’re not just fighting a legal case anymore.
They’re fighting for the precedent that future Nevadans — regardless of party — will have to live under.
