One underappreciated effect of the fake elector cases [1]

One predictable effect of the various states charging the fake electors is that because these people were State Party officials, any lawyers hired by the defendants will very likely have their fees paid by the state party.

e.g. In GA, the State Republican party has spent 1.7 MILLION dollars in the last 3 months on criminal defense legal fees.

This pattern is also playing out in Nevada, Michigan and will now likely repeat in Arizona, as the former State Party chair and other party officials were charged.

This has the effect of diverting resources away from things like a ground game and voter registration in very closely divided states.
