A Clark County judge has dismissed the charges filed against the six Nevada Republicans who submitted an invalid slate of electoral votes for former President Donald Trump in 2020 on the grounds that the county was not the appropriate jurisdiction for the case. At a Friday morning hearing in Clark County District Court, Judge Mary Kay Holthus said she was unconvinced by state prosecutors’ arguments that Clark County was the appropriate county to hear the case.
The electors’ attorneys had argued a more appropriate venue would be in Carson City, where the false signing ceremony took place, or in Douglas County, where the fake elector documents were originally mailed from. Clark County is more Democratic, meaning a jury could be less favorable to the Republican defendants. “You have literally, in my opinion, a crime that has occurred in another jurisdiction,” Holthus said. “It’s so appropriately up north and so appropriately not here.”
The state is unable to re-file the case up north because a three-year statute of limitations expired in December.

Don't worry, the RIGHT jurisdiction will be found. And no one said this case is over. Also, no one said those people DID NOT break the law. All they said was the court doesn't recognize the jurisdiction for the case.
Not a slam dunk by any means. My guess is the case will re-emerge with the proper jurisdiction sited.

Unless the legislature jumps up and amends the statute of limitations like was done in NYC for the E. Jean Carroll case against Trump.
Not much chance of that happening in a mostly blue state, sadly.

What? Are you trying to say NYC or NY state isn't blue? They are as blue as the deep blue sea.

I don’t think so.
The State can appeal the decision to dismiss the case. If that decision is overturned then the trial can go ahead in that original court.
But if the appeal is denied, it is too late to start over in a new jurisdiction.
