Joe Biden won Arizona by more than 10,000 votes
Donald Trump’s former chief of staff Mark Meadows was also indicted.
Arizona charges 11 Republicans, including former party chair and state legislators, for falsely declaring Trump won in 2020.
The 11 people who had been nominated to be Arizona's Republican electors met in Phoenix on Dec. 14, 2020, to sign a certificate saying they were "duly elected and qualified" electors and claiming that Trump carried the state. The document was later sent to Congress and the National Archives, where it was ignored.
Trump allies in Arizona falsely posed as presidential electors in an attempt to overturn Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election.
