Here’s the problem. Because of his incompetent employees, there’s only one candidate in the Democratic primary....some no-name minister from the local area. For Conyers to go into the election....he has to be a write-in or convince the judge this is all so unfair.
So here’s the problem. Write-in? He’d have to convince a majority of voters in this district who typically hit one button (vote-all-Democrat) to avoid the button, and go line-by-line. I’ve read comments from the District to indicate that better than half the voters hit the vote-all-Democratic button. Then he has to convince them to write his name in. The odds? Man, I don’t think Vegas would even touch this now for statistical odds.
The minister running? If he simply gets church-goers to side up with him....I think he’s got twenty-percent of the standard voting group concreted to his side. Toss in those who will push the vote-for-all-Democrats button, and I think he’ll win this election.
This all brings me to this one belief....that maybe the minister knew the two guys who were doing the petition stuff for Conyers, and that there was a conspiracy of sorts....to ensure Conyers screwed up. This is Detroit, and stranger things have occurred.
judge can say nothing prevents him being on the ballot as a write-in, he’s incumbent and won the last fifty years so people there know him, no case and the law stands to ensure signature reliability.
i wish that would happen.
I think Lisa Murkowski did it in Alaska!!
