Uh, yes. The candidates campaigns' (for which the candidates are responsible) were indeed busted for collecting fake signatures. If a candidate is incapable of doing something as simple as getting real people to sign petitions, they have no business in government (per Michigan law). And yes, the leading gubernatorial candidate was indeed arrested for participation on Jan. 6.
