On May 31 and June 1, two Republican gubernatorial candidates asked the Michigan Supreme Court to put them on the ballot. See this story. They are currently off the ballot because a random sample of their petitions showed massive numbers of forged signatures. Thanks to Thomas Jones for the link.
Surprised Thomas Jones didn’t make a jibberish rambling comment about purge lists.
NOOO govt party regis lists in Mich — except uncon lists of voters in Prez primaries.
Party registration lists should face RCV, approval voting and more.
Never liked petitions. All candidates should just pay a filing fee and that’s it.

There’s no need for either partitions or filing fees, or for that matter candidates.
