Republicans Accused of Forging Ballot Signatures in Critical Swing State

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The Republicans keep screaming about fraud. Ironically, several examples of legitimate fraud that have been discovered have turned out to be committed by Republicans.

On Friday, attorneys for the Michigan Democratic Party and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) submitted a letter to the Board of State Canvassers asking election officials to investigate whether nominating petitions submitted by Republican U.S. Senate candidates Rogers, Justin Amash and businessman Sandy Pensler as well as former candidate Peter Meijer had "patterns that indicate the presence of potential forgery and other fraudulent signature gathering tactics."

"The apparent fraud uncovered demands an immediate investigation" and that the state Bureau of Elections and the canvassing board "should uphold their responsibility to protect the integrity of Michigan's elections and conduct a full, thorough examination," Michigan Democratic Party Chairwoman Lavora Barnes said in a statement.

Thanks for your post! Obviously, we need voting reform with paper ballots, in-person voting and voter ID.

Don't you agree?

I agree, lets do that to show all those pesky Republicans we don't accept their fake mail in ballots!

 

[para bellum]

Since when is a name on nominating petition a ballot signature?

 

[MisterBeale]

I some how don't think anything will come of this.

I sense some deep, deep corruption here.

There was a GOP guy, James Craig, that was popular with the conservative white folks, and very popular with the black community in Detroit, had a close connection to them, kept the whole place from rioting during BLM.

I'm pretty sure he would've beat Whitmer when she went up for re-election. Folks were pissed about her lock-down policies and she had even been up for re-call petition after petition.

As far as I know, his only real weakness was his stand on abortion. I think that might have hurt him.

But he was the real deal, not like that astro-turfed horror actress, the oligarchy MAGAs imposed after that scandal.

It would not surprise me if there is some nefarious actors connected behind the scense on all this. . .



If that worked once? Why not again?

Oh my, an "accusation" by the Michigan Democratic Party! SSDD

The question on the 'stolen' election, and all lesser important questions to be answered by the law, will be satisfactorily answered by the political party that takes power in November.
Mainly being answered according to the political whims of the next president.

 

[MisterBeale]

Based on what criteria? Provide specific examples.

Amash isn't. He is the founder of the Freedom Caucus. He ain't no RINO.

Meijer is an oligarch. He is the Walton of Michigan.

He isn't really partisan, he is just after what is good for business. That would be like denying that Warren Buffet, or a member of the Koch brothers, or the Walton family is a RINO.


It's preposterous. Of course he's a globalist.

NOPE.

100% Mail-in Voting works just fine in Many States.

Not objecting to the 2020 certification of MI. takes care of that.

 

[Natural Citizen]

LOL Amash and Meijer are rinos...

Justin actually is a rino.

But that's what he's supposed to be, so...

I don't think theres anyone with a better voting record than him.

Not even Massie.

 

[Blaster]

These are "Never Trumpers" doing voter fraud.

You, always attempting to dismiss inconvenient facts.

You, always attempting to dismiss inconvenient facts.

You mean like the fact that you didn't read the article and all it says is that they might have fake PETITION signatures which have NOTHING to do with any ballots? That inconvenient fact?

It may or may not be true, but what makes it so unbelievable? Nobody said any of the candidates were involved. It easily could have been a coordinated effort by staffers or volunteers.
