Part 7 of 7: Selective Prosecution, Ford’s Political Hit Job Unmasked

By TheNevadaGlobeStaff, July 16, 2025 6:00 am

This is the final installment of our seven-part series, Nevada’s Witch Hunt: How Six Patriots Are Being Crucified for Defending Democracy. We’ve torn apart Aaron Ford’s flimsy case against six Nevada electors, exposing his contempt for precedent, intent, free speech, venue rules, clear laws, and time limits. Now, we rip the mask off the ugliest truth: this is a bald-faced political hit job, targeting Republicans for daring to question the 2020 election. It’s lawfare so cynical it could make a Vegas slot machine blush, and these patriots are fighting for their lives.

Let’s get real: Michael McDonald, Jim DeGraffenreid, Jesse Law, Jim Hindle, Shawn Meehan, and Eileen Rice cast contingent Trump votes in 2020, following the exact playbook of Hawaii’s 1960 Kennedy electors, who were hailed as heroes, not hunted like criminals. Ford, a Democrat AG with his sights on the 2026 governor’s mansion, hit them with felonies, first in Democrat-stacked Clark County (tossed out), then in Carson City, timed with his campaign launch. The electors, proud Nevada Republicans, are buried under legal fees, while Ford admitted in 2023 that Nevada law doesn’t even cover their actions. Why the vendetta? To crush dissent and pad his political resume, that’s why.

Legal Argument for Dismissal: Selective Prosecution and Political Bias: Ford’s case stinks of selective enforcement, spitting in the face of the Equal Protection Clause (Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356). Hawaii’s Democratic electors got a pass for the same move, but Nevada’s Republicans get dragged through the mud. Ford’s Clark County stunt, his hidden grand jury evidence, and his gubernatorial grandstanding scream partisan hackery. This isn’t justice; it’s a political lynching. The courts must toss this case to stop prosecutors from rigging the game by party.

These electors are drowning in debt, their legal bills skyrocketing past hundreds of thousands. They’re not crooks; they’re patriots battling a system hell-bent on silencing them. Nevadans, it’s time to wake up. Tell your neighbors, your friends, your family what Ford’s doing, using your tax dollars to persecute citizens for their beliefs. When he runs for governor in 2026, remember this travesty at the ballot box. This isn’t just about six people; it’s the system against us all. If they lose, we lose.

Don’t let Ford’s lawfare win, fight back now.
