get told that their petitions have the wrong font and will be rejected. This whole thing stinks of corruption.

Before the Court of Appeals, Attorney Herb Sanders argued for justice on behalf of the 226,000 citizens who signed a petition to place the repeal of the state’s emergency manager law, Public Act 4, on the November ballot.
Downstairs in the lobby, dozens of people — denied access to the small courtroom above — marched and chanted for an end to the “dictator law” and justice for citizens in all cities under emergency management.
“I have not lost confidence in this process, but there are a whole lot of people downstairs who have,” Sanders told the three-judge panel. “You owe it to them to do the right thing. 226,000 people signed petitions, asking their government for redress, yet we are debating whether or not the print is appropriate.”

The 226,000 signatures to repeal PA4 were submitted in February to the Secretary of State’s office for validation. Soon after, a group called the Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility (CFR) surfaced, challenging the validity of the petition based on substance and technical defects, saying the type size was incorrect.
