Michigan Democrats are accusing state Republican Senate candidates of signature fraud, and have filed a complaint to the state’s Board of State Canvassers.
alleges that nominating petitions of several GOP candidates for U.S. Senate have fraudulent signatures on them. The Board of State Canvassers cannot validate a candidate unless they have 15,000 legitimate signatures from Michigan voters.
“The apparent fraud uncovered demands an immediate investigation of the Republican Senate candidates’ nominating petitions,” Lavora Barnes, Michigan Democratic Party chairwoman, said. A review of the petitions named four candidates: former Reps. Mike Rogers , Justin Amash , and Peter Meijer along with businessman Sandy Pensler. Meijer has already withdrawn from the race.
“This antidemocratic stunt perpetuated by Slotkin’s allies failed and won’t cover for the misery the Biden-Slotkin agenda has inflicted on Michigan working families,” Chris Gustafson, communications director for the Rogers campaign, said. He’s referring to Rep. Elissa Slotkin , who is considered the front-runner in the Democratic Senate“Democrats can’t beat Republicans at the ballot box, so it looks like they are trying to eliminate Republicans from the ballot.
