Many German people thought they German judges of the time would put the reins on Hitler--that they still overrule him.
Sound familiar

I heard that in an earlier election that a white candidate had the same problem as Conyers - he was denied ballot status ...

In the back of my mind, I think this has to do with voters not being registered yet still voting....
To: smoothsailing
More than 600 petition signatures for Conyers had been deemed invalid by the county clerk, with whom the secretary of State agreed, because they were gathered by people who were not registered in Michigan, required by state law."Plaintiffs here have shown a substantial likelihood of success," he wrote, adding, "The States interest in combating election fraud is compelling, but the State may protect that interest through a less restrictive means."
Is it really that difficult in Michigan to find registered voters who need a temporary job that might be enticed to circulate petitions?

The state should appeal if for no other reason, to establish what the law and the role of the SoS is in MI. Unfortunately, the states just don't get it. They are no longer states, but mere provinces of the federal government. They can do only what federal judges and federal agencies deem appropriate.
And that will not change until there is a specific constitutional amendment to correct it.

Conyers has 50 years of complying with the law without problems. He can't argue now that it was unconstitutional all along.
This must be overturned.

Have they ever kept anyone off the ballot in the past for invalidated signatures?
Or did they just notice now that they dont want to follow that law?

Oh, they could spell it “Kawnyurs” and their votes would be accepted. Look at how Murkowski’s write-in was handled.

I'm glad someone else here remembers history and notes the familiar.
America has no clue what has already happened to it.
Normalcy Bias - and we have a fatal case of it.

There will be no redress for the *legitimate* grievances of the *law abiding* people in the courts, nor at the ballot box. Not going to happen.
Internet voting IS coming. Completing the transformation from Republic to corrupt Idiocracy.

Exactly what Rush Limbaugh predicted would happen.
The dems always find a way to CHEAT (a judge willing to overstep his authority), in order to put somebody back in office so they can continue to fleece the public.
I hope somebody appeals this erroneous ruling, and throws Conyers out.

Of course, it must be remembered that last election cycle no one liked it when the Republican Party of Virginia stuck by the rules and kept some candidates off the state’s presidential primary ballot because they didn’t have enough valid signatures.

They can do only what federal judges and federal agencies deem appropriate. Naw, they can bow down to blind, retired Family Court judges too.

Rep. John Conyers is a democrat.
Just like they did in New Jersey to illegally allow Lautenberg to run this maggot Conyers will be allowed on the ticket by a judge that should be in jail.
