Michigan electors civil-rights lawsuit
The public page describes support for Michigan’s 2020 electors in a criminal case that it says was dismissed, and a civil-rights suit that follows.
The live page opens with a thank-you. It says attorney Erick Kaardal, described there as Five Stones legal counsel, supported Michigan’s 2020 presidential electors during a criminal prosecution. It says that in September 2025 District Court Judge Kristen Simmons dismissed all criminal charges against the 15 electors, that prosecutors had not proved intent to commit fraud, and that the court recognized a right to petition. It says the page’s authors are preparing civil litigation for malicious prosecution and civil-rights violations.
Summary on the public page
The page says the project supports a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 suit by the 2020 Michigan Republican electors against Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel and Special Agent Howard Shock. It says the suit alleges a bad-faith criminal prosecution in retaliation for First Amendment activity. It says the project seeks to hold those officials individually accountable, to address the electors’ constitutional claims, and to seek damages for felony charges a state court has dismissed.
The page says the plaintiffs were charged with eight felony counts. It says a state court found the forgery statutes inapplicable. The live projects list marks the matter closed.
