Former Arizona GOP Chair Kelli Ward is among 11 individuals who have been charged in connection with alleged 2020 election subversion, according to a reporter.

Kyle Cheney of Politico flagged the filing on social media on Wednesday, saying, "Arizona prosecutors have charged 11 fake electors for their roles in efforts to subvert the 2020 election."

He also noted that there are "seven additional people charged in this indictment who have not yet been served."

"So their names remain redacted," the reporter added.

Of Ward, the filing states she "was the chair of the Arizona Republican party."

"She organized the fake electors' vote on December 14, 2020, and voted for Trump-Pence as a fake elector, falsely stating that she was 'duly elected and qualified.' After voting, Ward declared the Arizona Republican electors as the 'true electors,'" according to the filling. "She later urged Pence to accept false electoral votes for Trump-Pence on January 6, 2021. She did not withdraw her vote even though no legal challenge successfully changed the outcome of Arizona's 2020 Presidential Election."

The news broke the same day as it was revealed that the former president, Mark Meadows, and Rudy Giuliani are unindicted co-conspirators in the criminal case over the state of Michigan's fake elector plot that hoped to reverse presidential election results in 2020.
