    Did the Michigan Senate Leader Break The Law? | 35 comments (35 topical, 0 hidden)
    He did not break the law (none / 0) (#1)

    His mother did in notarizing the form, which is clearly laid out in MCL 55.291 clause 8.  However, nowhere in MCL 55.291 (or the act as a whole that I could find) does it say that notarizing this document invalidated the notarization, only that she is guilty of a misdemeanor and can be fined or imprisoned.

    Furthermore, MCL 168.848 does not state that failure to complete the postelection statement results in being thrown out of the office, merely that it is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine or imprisonment.

    In all honesty, you're over-reacting to what was most likely an accident.  That being said, his mother should have her commission revoked, and possibly prosecuted.

    But nowhere does it indicate that her acting as his notary invalidates the document; and furthermore, even if it did invalidate it, it would not mean that he would have been excluded from taking office.
