“[T]his scheme by Rep. Schmidt and Speaker Bolger was clearly designed to undermine the election and to perpetrate “fraud” on the electorate…”

“As a Republican elected official, I am embarrassed and offended by what transpired.”

“Allowing a candidate to “recruit” a so-called opponent and to allow the last minute shenanigans that occurred in this case is a travesty and should not be permitted.”

- William A. Forsyth, Kent County Prosecuting Attorney
