The group of lawyers also worked to get fake presidential electors appointed. Prosecutor said that Ellis was also involved in making other inaccurate statements in states like Michigan, Arizona and Pennsylvania.

The only thing that Ellis is sorry about is being held accountable for her actions. As punishment, she will serve five years of probation, owe $5,000 of restitution to the Georgia secretary of state within 30 days and testify at trials or hearings in the case.

Ellis will also have to complete 100 hours of community service and write an apology to Georgia residents. She is forbidden to post about the case on social media and cannot contact any witnesses or the media until the case is over.
