3 charged in Michigan governor race signature scandal.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is expected to announce charges related to the fake nominating petition signatures that resulted in the disqualification of five Republican candidates for governor in 2022. Three defendants, including Shawn Wilmoth and Willie Reed, face multiple felony charges including conducting a criminal enterprise, false pretenses, computer fraud, and election forgery. The charges were filed in 37th District Court in Warren. The candidates were removed from the August primary ballot by the Board of State Canvassers because of too many fake signatures.
