Yes something is amiss. I know Livonia well and spent most of my career in Oakland County, it’s not like Thad had a swing district - in fact it just got muscled up in the redistricting.

Not sure what bothers me most, rats doing mischief or McCotter taking his seat for granted, which he clearly did.

The collection of signatures on a petition is a pretty cut-and-dry exercise. As one of Thad's constituents, I am not at all upset that he delegated that job to a committee. That's what staff is for and I wouldn't expect him to oversee it. The duplication of THAT MANY signatures is an act of sabotage, and should have been obvious to the person in charge of the process. It should be fairly easy to track down the responsible parties and I they should be prosecuted to the fullest.

That this has driven him from the write-in campaign to help with the investigation strikes me as extremely odd, unless he has information that says the guy from Milford had a pretty good chance of unseating him anyway in the primary. Although I am a strong McCotter supporter and always have been, I have to admit, he was becoming a little "inside-the-beltway" for me. And I'm not the only one in the district who felt this way.
