Doh!------------------Petition problems threaten Conyers' re-election bid

Petition problems threaten Conyers' re-election bid | Crain's Detroit Business:
"Detroit congressman John Conyers' run for re-election appears to be in trouble because of problems with his petitions, Wayne County Clerk Cathy Garrett said Friday.
Garrett said problems are related to two people who collected signatures to get the Democrat on the August primary ballot. She said it doesn't appear they were registered to vote until late April.
But Conyers attorney John Pirich said they registered to vote in December. He said the campaign also is working to restore 800 signatures that were ruled invalid.
Conyers needs 1,000 signatures collected by registered voters. A decision about his place on the ballot could come Wednesday.
The 84-year-old Conyers was first elected to Congress in 1964."
