PONTIAC, Mich. (WJBK) - Two former leaders of the Oakland County Democratic Party are facing a total of nine felonies for allegedly forging election paperwork to get fake Tea Party candidates on November's ballot.
"It is not a partisan statement, and we need to make that very clear," said Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper.
Former Oakland County Democratic Chair Mike McGuinness and former Democratic Operations Director Jason Bauer face up to 14 years in prison if convicted.
"Some of the people didn't even know they were on the ballot till they began receiving delinquency notices of filings that were required as a candidate," said Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard.
The sheriff says 23 statewide races had questionable Tea Party candidates on the ballot and the investigation may go beyond Oakland County.
"It was learned that a scheme was developed by a party leader in Lansing to place on the ballot people pretending to be Tea Party activists and that this was going to be a statewide effort," Bouchard said.
John Tramontana, a spokesperson for the state Democratic Party, told FOX 2 that this was not a state party issue and it's not our place to comment.
"What we have here is illegal. It's forgery. It's fraud. It's perjury. It's those things. Then you cross a different line," said Bouchard.
It's not illegal to be a non-serious candidate. That's not what's being alleged here. What is being alleged is that the people that were on the ballot were phony candidates and that they got there by fraudulent means. That's the crime. http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/dpp/news/two-charged-in-tea-party-election-fraud-20110316-mr

“What we have here is illegal. It’s forgery. It’s fraud. It’s perjury”.
How about...It’s hammer time. And in the famous words of Bugs Bunny..”I guess you know...this means war!”
RATS have a strong criminal streak. Their ultimate hero, Lenin, told them any lie was OK if it advanced the cause.
Stalin isn’t their “ultimate” hero...
Alinsky:
Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins or which is which), the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom Lucifer “
the left really are pathetic.
They attacked the tea party.
They then try to ignore it.
They then attacked it again.
They then tried to infiltrate it.
With the help of their elitist corrupt pals called the media they have done this all around the country.
What a disgusting group the left wing are.
This case is going to get bigger. McGuinness was a democrat secretary of state campaign staffer as well as staffer on several other campaigns in the state.

Where’s Eric Holder’s “Just us” Dept?!!!........crickets....
I guarantee that what happened here has happened all over this country.
Nothing new really for the Dems, lie, cheat, steal, vote early vote often, false votes, dead people.
Still say today that their royal dictator did not win fairly.
Even in FL we had over a 100,000 voters vote in our state just from GA,OH and then add the other states, illegals, snowbirds and vote early vote often crowd .
I think they confuse us with all their murderous leaders. Most of them got their inspiration from Darwin’ cousin Galton. I think the bottom-line is most likely Darwinism-Galtonism - Neo-Pagan Occult Fabianism - FreeMasonary. Alinsky was a follower of Alice Bailey whose mentor was Madame Blatvatsky who was a Fabian Socialist of the occult-anarchy world. All the Eugenists were involved in it. Margaret Sanger got most of her stuff from Bailey via Helen Blatvatsky who shared it with Hitler. A few of the suffrage’ women wrote letters in support of Httler especially Blatvatsky - probably many more that we don’t know about...
Great info - thanks. Yes, this is going to have a huge fallout, for sure.
Do you really think there will be any real consequences for these leftists?
Thanks. That needs to somehow resurface now that we’ve got them in this fraud. At least get it back out there to add the fact that this is nation-wide.
I got hope after watching the video...those people weren’t messing around. They were totally and absolutely disgusted and pissed off. I’d say they’re going to throw the book at them - they were that serious.
We all know these leftist bath turds have been cheating in every election, even when they don’t have to, it’s just their way,
but no one seemed to ever DO anything about it. Our response was to “get out the vote” in order to overcome the fraud, instead of minimizing the fraud and punishing those who perpetrated it.
It’s time to stop giving them another chance,
time to stop turning the other cheek.
The positive side is that the left is so used to us doing nothing in response to their bellicosity, that they have no plan B when we DO respond.
The guy on the right may be trying to do one of those Tom DeLay “big grin” mug shots, but his heart’s not in it.
Reason: because unlike DeLay, he knows he’s guilty.
McGuinness was a campaign staffer for Jocelyn Benson who was a crown jewel of the Soros funded secretary of state project.
