Money out of Politics faces petition signature challenge as campaign works toward November ballot
A ballot measure to limit political donations from Michigan’s public utilities and large government contractors is facing a challenge on its way to voters.
The challenge claims the Michiganders for Money Out of Politics campaign didn’t collect enough valid signatures to make the ballot. That’s based on a sample of a thousand signatures.
To qualify, at least 636 of those sampled signatures need to be valid.
The countercampaign Protect MI Free Speech is behind the signature challenge. It leveled several concerns with signatures in the sample, like duplicates, signatures that don’t match handwriting records, and wrong addresses.
