(14,449 posts)This is going to be messy. Can he win a write in? I think he can.

(1,451 posts)But in 2010 Governor Snyder had drawn different District lines. His District carries more Suburban votes. But he won his last election!! His opponent is a washout!! But now it is rumored that he has a little help. From the Repugs! It is being said that the petition signatures are valid but the people who took them were not registered voters!! A Michigan requirement!! Not something Conyers would do!! There are rumors about Dean of Congress and not letting another you know what be in the seat. we are setting Traps now!! Let you know if we catch anything!

(43,049 posts)I've carried petitions, and I'm on the local Dem committee where we take them seriously and don't hand them out to people we don't know.
Can't imagine how the Detroit committees could let this happen.

(297,240 posts)that he runs for Congress he has to have sigs to put him on the ballot?
The news people were concerned but Rep Conyers seemed calm about it.

(1,451 posts)But this is definitely serious!! This mistake is too simple. We have problems with our city clerks office. Rev. Horace Sheffield is a messy distractor. He runs around Detroit but has sold out his allegiance years ago!! They are already forming a write-in Campaign, just in case!! Check out the Job of Dean of Congress and let me know if this is a relevant factor. I hate to be in Conspiracy Theory mode! But with Koch brothers and Americans for Prosperity lurking behind the scenes and the tricks that were pulled in 2008 and 2012 up to and including white republican candidates running as African American candidate, I would not be surprised!!
