Wisconsin Fake-Elector Case Trial Begins
Alleged fraud in misrepresenting paperwork to Vice President Mike Pence.
Case tied to January 6, 2021 inquiries.
Defendants sought judge recusal; Dane County Circuit Judge John Hyland denied it.
Similar cases in Michigan and Georgia failed, while Wisconsin prosecution continues.
Special prosecutor dropped a federal case last year.
Trump's 2020 loss in Wisconsin contextualizes the case.
None of 10 electors face charges; two settled a related lawsuit.
