Rep. Scott Taylor (R-VA) said that “he had severed ties with his campaign consultant after learning about allegations of forged signatures in petitions gathered by his campaign staff,” the Richmond Times Dispatch reports.
“A special prosecutor was assigned to investigate petitions gathered by Taylor’s staff to help get an independent candidate on the November ballot.”
Said Taylor: “My campaign has a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate activities. Recently we became aware of the inconsistencies in a voter petition process along with everyone else. Previously, our team terminated the relationship with our campaign manager for separate issues, however, current knowledge underscores that decision and prompted me to sever ties with my campaign consultant.”
