ND Political Organizers May Face Charges Over Failed Ballot Measure Petition

(Bismarck, ND) — A group of North Dakota political organizers may face criminal charges after a failed ballot measure petition effort. The Secretary of State says the petition for a ballot measure to enact term limits some signatures that were “likely forged” and that others included “paid bonuses” for getting signatures. The Bureau of Criminal Investigation is looking into the allegations. Ward County officials will determine whether to bring charges.
