The Washington State Supreme Court has fined a nonprofit group and its Sequim lawyer more than $28,000 for making legally meritless claims that alleged widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election, the Seattle Times reported last week.

The Washington Election Integrity Coalition United was ordered to pay about $9,600, and its attorney, Virginia Shogren, was ordered to pay nearly $18,800 for suing Gov. Jay Inslee, the Times reported.

Shogren could not be reached by the Peninsula Daily News for comment on June 2.

The fines were imposed last month and announced June 1 by Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s office, which defended Inslee in the case.

Ferguson said his office intends to file a complaint against Shogren with the Washington State Bar Association.

The sanctions were the latest in a series of defeats for the “Stop the Steal” movement stoked by former President Donald Trump’s false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him.

The claims have been rejected in dozens of lawsuits and audits throughout the country; no widespread fraud has been found.
