Election Fraud ...

... committed by the GOP in Michigan. I thought they sold themselves as the clean ones.

After a series of political missteps, Representative Thaddeus McCotter, Republican of Michigan, announced late Friday afternoon that he would retire from Congress immediately rather than at the end of the current term...

Mr. McCotter was running for re-election in a race that didn’t seem to be much of a contest, especially since he has carried the district since 2003. But his front-runner status quickly evaporated after 1,563 of the 1,830 signatures he turned in to get his name on the primary ballot were found to be fraudulent. Only 1,000 were required.

Longtime Michigan elections officials called the level of fraud “unheard-of,” and the state attorney general’s office announced a criminal investigation into the petitions.

Will Fox/Limbaugh be all over this since they're such proponents of election integrity?

Grandiose little weasel, isn't he?

"Thus, acutely aware one cannot rebuild their hearth of home amongst the ruins of their U.S. House office, for the sake of my loved ones I must ‘strike another match, go start anew’ by embracing the promotion back from public servant to sovereign citizen."

Gimme a freakin' break!

He your guy, Whell?

Retired to the State Pen? Or will he have a fall guy to blame?

With 1,563 fraudulent votes way more then was ever tied to Acorn BTW! He should be tared and feathered! But will more then likly get a slap on the hand and sent home to draw his very generous pension and health benefits.
