The fraudulent signatures are irrelevant because they exceeded the threshold, and were done by contracted third parties.
How are the fraudulent signatures irrelevant? They were obtained by a firm hired by the Green Party whose owner was convicted of election fraud in VA and is currently on trial for election fraud in MI? I find it hard to believe that the Green Party was approached by this guy (whose record is plainly available to the public), did absolutely no vetting, and entrusted him with one of the most important parts of getting their candidate on the ballot. Shawn Wilmoth, the owner of the firm contracted by the Green Party, has multiple complainants who will testify against him in the MI fraud trial-- none of which are Green Party candidates. Same with NC and every other state his firm operated in-- lots of fraud, but Green Party candidates for some strange reason never take him to court. I suspect it’s because doing so would involve mutual disclosure that would reveal that the Green Party did know if Wilmoth’s reputation and that’s precisely why they wanted him. When you know your candidate is going to lose and you’re just in it to spoil an election, who cares if there’s some fallout afterwards?
Matthew Martucci, the NC SBoE’s lead investigator stated
“The Investigation Division elevated the Green Party investigation as a potentially
criminal matter with high priority due to observing a pattern of petition pages
submitted containing what appeared to be noticeably fraudulent signatures”
This pattern isn’t mentioned anywhere in the court decision, and is part of why I question the seemingly selective omissions in the decision. Every legitimate candidate that got burned by Shawn Wilmoth is taking his ass to court, meanwhile Green Party candidates aren’t taking legal action nor are they explaining to their voters why they’re just letting some fraud get away with the thousands of dollars they gave him.
