Four campaign staffers to former Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) were charged Thursday with alleged criminal acts connected to the false ballot petitions that forced McCotter off the ballot, according to the Detroit Free Press.
[Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette] said the petition forgeries and cut-and-paste jobs on the petitions “would make an elementary art teacher cringe.”
Schuette said the McCotter staffers also likely did the same thing in the 2008 elections, using 2006 petition signatures.
McCotter resigned in July.
