A Richmond Circuit Court judge ruled that independent Shaun Brown should be removed from Virginia’s 2nd congressional district ballot, finding “out and out fraud” in the effort to gather her signatures, the Richmond Times Dispatch reports.
Washington Post: “Many of those signatures were gathered by staffers working for the incumbent Republican, Scott Taylor, who is seeking a second term. Five current or former staffers for the congressman declined to answer questions in court, pleading the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination. A separate criminal probe into the matter is ongoing and a state police investigator attended the civil hearing.”
