The Grand Rapids election fraud investigation was closed as a “mutual decision” between Kent County Prosecutor William Forsyth and the State Police. No criminal laws were broken by State Rep. Roy Schmidt (R) or House Speaker Jase Bolger (R) in an attempt to pay a Democrat to run in the race. The “Democrat” had no intention of campaigning.
The Office of Secretary of State is conducting a separate investigation regarding possible campaign finance law violations.
