A Republican activist who signed a document falsely claiming Donald Trump had won Arizona in 2020 became the first person to be convicted in the state’s fake elector case.

Loraine Pellegrino, a past president of the group Ahwatukee Republican Women, has pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of filing a false document, the Arizona attorney general’s office spokesperson, Richie Taylor, said on Tuesday, declining to comment further. Records documenting her guilty plea have not yet been posted by the court. Still, court records show Pellegrino was sentenced to unsupervised probation. Before the plea, she faced nine felony charges.

Good for her for coming to her senses and taking responsibility.

She is now too good for the Republican party.
 
And even if she was aware and was just trying to avoid the felony charges, at least she didn't run the usual grift of "I'm being targeted for my politics" and a million lawyers and appeals and delays

Why? Seems obvious they knew what the fraud was.

I believe they were probably told it was just "political strategy" not something obviously illegal.

Political strategy is not committing a felony.
