Kevin Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 Today a friend told me he read an online article stating 3 or 4 persons in the MI legislature have been charged with election fraud. He could not remember the news website and I have yet to be able to find the article or mention of it. Has anyone else heard about this? Peace and unity in the cannabis community.

purple pimpernel Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 it's McCotter---11th district and it was voter fraud ...i saw it in DNews 3-4of his staff members accused of voter fraud....I believe that's why he dropped out--- another hotly contested seat by the right---shows what lengths they will go to!

Celliach Posted August 11, 2012 Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 McCotter wasn't charged with voter fraud, he was charged with election fraud for putting names on his election elegibility petition. http://www.freep.com/article/20120811/NEWS02/308110061/Thaddeus-McCotter-s-top-aides-charged-in-election-fraud-case members of McCotter's Livonia office were charged Thursday with creating and submitting doctored nominating petitions. The forgeries were almost comically conspicuous cut-and-paste jobs and photocopies, Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette said in a news conference Thursday.McCotter resigned from office last month after the Michigan Secretary of State's rejection of the petitions weeks earlier. Schuette and investigators said there is evidence of similar forgeries in the 2008 election. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted August 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2012 Agreed. Shows the lengths they will go just to win an election even forgery. A criminal is a criminal no matter in the hood or the legislature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t-pain Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 doesnt this mean he was ineligable to be a rep from 2008+ ? doesnt that mean all of his votes are now forfeit ? and should be undone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaveatLector Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 I may be wrong but the way I heard it McCotter wasn't charged with anything. Only members of his staff were charged. Isn't that correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that correct? You are correct . McCotter not charged, but ‘asleep at switch' http://www.hometownlife.com/article/20120816/NEWS13/208160402/McCotter-not-charged-8216-asleep-switch-?odyssey=mod%7Cnewswell%7Ctext%7CRoyal%20Oak%7Cs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
