Conservative Recall Effort Leads To Voter Fraud Charges
Zachary Roth | January 5, 2010, 5:47PM


Not all voter fraud can be pinned on ACORN.

Two Michigan men were recently charged with voter fraud. The men, Michael Bastianelli and Harvey Robinson, allegedly faked signatures that were used to get a recall petition on the ballot.

The recall effort, which was defeated, was targeted at Democratic House Speaker Andy Dillon, and was organized by a conservative anti-tax group, the Michigan Taxpayers Alliance (MTA). MTA is led by a former GOP state representative, Leon Drolet.

The group had targeted Dillon because in 2007 he had committed the sin of supporting tax increases.
