“On behalf of Michigan voter Emily Judd, the Michigan Democratic Party (MDP), and DSCC aka Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, we write to supplement our May 17, 2024 letter with additional indications of potential fraud in the nominating petition of Republican US Senate Candidate Mike Rogers. As discussed herein and in the attached exhibits, our investigation has thus far uncovered indicia of potential fraud associated with the petition sheets of at least 18 circulators, who together submitted approximately 12,293 signatures in support of Mr Rogers’ nomination.”

“As the Board has previously determined, fraud on any one sheet submitted by a particular circulator necessarily calls into question the validity of all of that circulator’s sheets. If the Board finds that any circulator submitted a fraudulent petition sheet, it should invalidate all of that circulator’s sheets – for any candidate, in addition to any signatures across the petition that are found to be invalid for other reasons. Candidate Rogers announced in November 2023 that he had collected 30,000 petition signatures to qualify for the ballot. Nevertheless, he waited until April 22, 2024, the day before the deadline, to file his petition. That means Mr Rogers had five full months to review and confirm the validity of the petition sheets collected by his campaign, and it appears he failed to do so,” write Michigan Dems in a monster 177-page letter to the State Board of Canvassers detailing at length the issues with Trump-endorsed former Congressman Mike Rogers’s primary ballot access petition.

“Since we submitted our May 17 letter, we have obtained declarations from 6 voters who affirmed that, although their names, information, and purported signatures appear on petition sheets for Mr Rogers, they did not fill out or sign those petition sheets. One such declaration is from Mary Alexander, who also confirmed that her brother DeWayne Washington could not possibly have signed the same petition sheet where her name appears because, at the time he purportedly signed, he was deceased,” the letter says further down. Keep in mind this is just a week since the Dems first raised the potential issue that they’ve taken a serious bite out of Rogers’ petition. The minimum requirement was 15,000 and – if a judge eventually scrubs the 12,293 from the circulators who cheated on at least some of them, that leaves him with just a few thousand still vulnerable.
