"FRAUDULENT SIGNATURES" MAY CAUSE GOP FRONT RUNNER,JAMES CRAIG(NEGRO)TO BE REMOVED FROM THE MICHIGAN GUBERNATORIAL PRIMARY BALLOT

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — An investigation by Michigan’s election bureau found thousands of fraudulent signatures among multiple campaigns. It says five Republican candidates did not get enough valid signatures on their nominating petitions.

The bipartisan Board of State Canvassers will meet Thursday to consider the elections bureau’s recommendations.

Gubernatorial candidates Donna Brandenburg, Michael Brown, James Craig, Michael Markey and Perry Johnson did not file enough valid signatures, the bureau said. That’s half of the 10 candidates vying for their party’s nomination.


The reports issued late Monday by staff are a major blow to former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, who has led in polling, and businessman Perry Johnson, who has spent millions of his own money to campaign.

Signatures from Republican gubernatorial candidates Craig and Johnson were all challenged by Democrats. Tudor Dixon also challenged a significant number of Craig’s signatures.

Dixon’s signatures were also contested by Democrats. The bureau says she filed enough valid signatures.

The GOP gubernatorial primary is Aug. 2. The general election is Nov. 8.

19 CANDIDATES DON’T HAVE ENOUGH SIGNATURES
The reports found that a total of 19 candidates did not have enough signatures, including judicial candidates and four U.S. Representative candidates, the report says. Eight of those candidates are Republican, one is a Democrat and 10 are nonpartisan.

The Democrat is Joseph Alfonso, the only Democratic candidate in the 4th Congressional District. He needed 1,000 signatures. The bureau determined only 959 of the 1,027 signatures he submitted were valid.

If the Board of State Canvassers follows the bureau’s recommendation and determines Alfonso does not qualify then Rep. Bill Huizenga, R-Zeeland, will run unopposed in both the primary election and the general election.

The other three of the congressional candidates found to be short signatures are Elizabeth Ferszt in the 5th District, Jake Hagg in the 7th District and Gabriella Manolache in the 3rd District.

INVESTIGATION FOUND FRAUD
The state launched the investigation after tips from citizens about fraudulent signatures, challenges from democrats and challenges by some republican candidates.

The bureau found that 36 petition circulators, some working to collect signatures for multiple campaigns, submitted at least 68,000 invalid signatures across at least 10 campaigns.

“All petition sheets submitted by these circulators displayed suspicious patterns indicative of fraud, and staff reviewing these signatures against the Qualified Voter File (QVF) did not identify any signatures that appeared to be submitted by a registered voter,” the report says.
