LANSING, Mich. (WOOD) - The Michigan State Police, at the request of the Kent County prosecutor, are looking into the possibility of election fraud involving Matt Mojzak's filing to run as a Democrat in the 76th House District race.

Mojzak filed to run as a Democrat at the same time that current seat-holder Roy Schmidt switched parties from Democrat to Republican.

24 Hour News 8 learned Mojzak's filing petition and Schmidt's party switch paperwork were delivered by the same person.

Mojzak then withdrew his name with the County Clerk's office at 8:45 a.m. Thursday.

In a conversation with 24 Hour News 8 Wednesday, Schmidt denied knowing Mojzak or having any contact with him.

Schmidt was not available for comment on Friday.

24 Hour News 8 caught up with Mojzak at a store on Friday afternoon. All he said was, "No comment. No comment. No comment."
