Fraudulent petition signatures, missing dates and incorrect jurisdictions were some of the reasons candidates were removed from the Aug. 2 ballot.
2022 candidate petitions reviewed by Michigan Board of State CanvassersLANSING, MI – Nineteen candidates from around Michigan have been booted from the Aug. 2 ballot over petition errors. Those errors ranged from some candidates having thousands of fraudulent signatures on their petitions, to one candidate accidentally covering a few words on her petition with a sticker.
Of those 32, only 13 candidates qualified for the ballot after the board of canvassers found their petitions to be sufficient during its Thursday, May 26, meeting. The other 19 candidates were disqualified, and will have to file an appeal in court before June 3 if they want to get back on the ballot.
Some of the candidates argued they were victims to disingenuous petition circulators, and should not be held responsible for having, in some cases, thousands of fraudulent signatures. Other candidates asked for understanding from the state, arguing their mistakes were simply due to human error. “My comments are that these people should all go to prison – the circulators that defrauded the candidates, and are defrauding us,” Shinkle said.
