Democrats demand GAB disqualifies fake candidates, accuse them of election fraud:
Democrats filed a complaint with the Government Accountability Board Thursday demanding that elections officials disqualify a half-dozen Republicans running as Fake Democrats in this spring’s recall primary elections.
The Democrats’ attorney, Jeremy Levinson, filed the complaint alleging that the state GOP has openly acknowledged the candidates aren’t Democrats, but the candidates falsely claimed they were in papers filed with the board and on their nomination papers.
He accused the candidates of committing election fraud. He called for the board to keep them off the ballot and open an investigation.
“The fraudulent candidates and the RPW have explicitly acknowledged that, in fact, these fraudulent primary candidates are part of an effort to manipulate the electoral process in support of Republican incumbents facing recall,” Levinson wrote.
A recent legal opinion indicates that running fake primary candidates may be a felony.
According to the legal opinion, fake Democratic candidates may have committed election fraud—a Class I Felony— for having falsified a declaration of candidacy. By swearing to represent the Democratic party while actually representing the interests of the Republican party, fake candidates could be opening themselves up to fines of as much as $10,000 and 3 ½ years in prison.GAB spokesman Reid Magney said the board would address the complaint during a meeting Tuesday to set the ballots.
