Opponents of Michigan's Emergency Manager law repeal challenging petitions due to FONT SIZE?!?! [View all]

FONT SIZE???!

In a clear act of desperation, a group opposing the repeal of Public Act 4 -- Michigan's Emergency Manager law -- are challenging the petitions because they say the font size is too small.

Opponents of the referendum drive say they've found what they're calling a "fatal error" on the petitions.
The group Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility says the petition itself is printed in the wrong type size, which is contrary to state law.

The group will ask a bipartisan state elections panel to throw out all the petitions at a hearing expected to be held later this month.
