So, here's the deal: A guy who was semi-taken-seriously as a Republican Presidential candidate for one brief shining moment in 2012 should not even have been serving legally in Congress since 2010 — and maybe not since 2008.
"Former US Representiave Thaddeus McCotter had less [sic] than the minimum 1,000 petition signatures from registered voters to make the 2010 ballot," POLITICO reports.
"McCotter's campaign claimed it submitted the maximum 2,000 petition signatures allowed. But rampant copying of petition signature pages showed at least 35 petitions pages were copies."
And that's not all, folks:
"McCotter's status for the 2008 ballot appears borderline at best.... More than 900 signatures [were found] that could have been invalidated as a result of the apparent copying of petition signatures from a previous campaign and pasting them onto petitions for 2008.
"The discovery comes days after the Department of the Attorney General charged four former McCotter staffers with election fraud for similar practices that the Bureau of Elections did discover for the 2012 campaign."
We cats say — to paraphrase Willard Mitt Romney — the Grand Old Party could not sink any lower.
Long lines of blacks, Hispanics and people who the GOP thinks hate America, lined up to illegally vote for Democrats? A fantasy.
Republicans in Congress, committing actual voter fraud? A fact.
We cats HISS.
