Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel on Thursday announced her office has indicted at least three individuals in connection to the 2022 ballot access petition forgery scam that saw five Republican candidates disqualified from the gubernatorial primary ballot, the Detroit News reports.
Shawn Wilmoth, Jamie Lynn Wilmoth, and Willie Reed each face dozens of charges including conducting a criminal enterprise, various counts of false pretenses, and forgery under Michigan’s election law over the clusterfuck that saw leading GOP candidate former Detroit Police Chief James Craig, businessman Perry Johnson – who spent $7.5 million of his own money on his campaign – and the three other scrubs tossed from the race. In Craig’s case, state election officials determined a staggering 9,879 out of 14,310 signatures on his ballot petition were invalid, the end result of the fuckery by the Wilmoths and Reed, who charged $13 per signature “collected.”
