Unpaid bill kicks ballot winner off Fruitport council

This sounds like a great way to steal an election.
"On the day after the election I received a fax from the (village) clerk indicating that Mr. Epplett was in default and any votes casts for him are void," Grimm said.
"That is what the State Bureau of Elections has instructed us to do -- to report zeros for his vote totals. Bruce Raymond is back on the council," she said. ........
Because Epplett was in default at the time of the election, paying the $115 bill now won't make any difference, according to Williams' response. http://www.mlive.com/news/muchronicle/index.ssf?/base/news-10/116360733719300.xml&coll=8
