I don't get it

OK, as I have been told, one county in CA is huge compared to NH, but with all the laws and all the training, (probably second only to LA at this time) this stuff goes on all the time out there.
Is this a the law doesn't apply to me thing or what?

Re: I don't get it

Maureen,
I don't think this is a CA notary. Oakland County is in Michigan, I believe. Oakland, CA is in Alameda County.

Re: I don't get it

Shoshana's right - this is another Oakland - not the one in CA, but I get your point. It's sort of along the same lines as Georgia being an attorney-only state, but regularly having among the highest - if not the highest- mortgage fraud stats in the nation. Go figure.

I think it's a political geek thing

more than a notary thing. My take on it is that this is a guy obsessed with making the tea party look bad, he happened to be a notary, and figured he could use that to accomplish his goals. I doubt he thought he was above the law, I think he just thought that he could do it without getting caught.

Re: I think it's a political geek thing

Cali, you may be correct. If true, he probably thought he could hurt their chances to be listed as a legitimate party if the "people" running for office filed but didn't pay the proper fees.

My guess is that the person that received the notices and then notified the county clerks office would have a case against him (the notary) if it is proven that he is the one that also signed the document. Personally, even if I was a die-hard party loyalist dem (like it appears the notary may be), I would file ID theft and anything else I could if it is proved that the notary actually signed the docs then notarized his own signature as the other persons. Just out of principle.


In another article about the same guy and more filings. --

** Tyler was one of 23 candidates nominated at a tea party movement convention last month. But suspicions about the candidates, many of whom have Democratic Party ties, surfaced almost immediately.

The candidates filed in races where a tea party candidate might siphon votes away from the Republican candidate. They had no ties to established tea party groups around the state. Two of the candidates weren't old enough to be eligible to run for the offices being sought. Twelve of the candidate affidavits, including Tyler's, were notarized by Jason Bauer, the operations director for the Oakland County Democratic Party. **

From: http://stix1972.amplify.com/2010/07/
** The “Jason H. Bauer” signature on the Oakland County document also appears substantially similar to the notary signatures on the Tea Party political party candidate filings revealed this week. **

Disclaimer: I cannot tell if this is someone's opinion (similar signatures) or if it is actually something that has been reported.

Although it appears to be a major political game being played and possible fraud, the "notary" side of this story, when all is said and done, will show the true importance of not notarizing any signatures without the true signer being in front of the notary.

Right!!!

"the true importance of not notarizing any signatures without the true signer being in front of the notary"

I absolutely agree! I guess, as with any kind of crime, it's amazing what people think they can get away with... This clearly re-emphasizes the importance of following proper procedure every time. While the vast majority of docs where we're notarizing a signature aren't candidate applications, every one has some kind of potential consequence.

Thanks for posting, Cali!

EEEEEEKKKKKK! 48 second mark notary republic, not public LOL

Too bad they couldn't find a spiffier room other than the kitchen/cafetria!

I know not related to the subject, but I could resist! I stopped watching after that.

It's been in the news about this matter of fraudulently

signing up voters by the Tea Party. I'm sure this isn't an isolated incident and there would have been many notaries involved.

This Notary "Republic"

Jason H Bauer has only been a Notary since January 22,2010.
The States website has him --> "Current Status is Active". But
I bet it won't be for long..... but who knows the way the State
operates.

Re: This Notary "Republic"

I wouldn't be surprised if this guy got his notary commission just to commit fraud. Pretty pathetic...

Maybe a boost to her campaign for state office?

This individual is one of a couple campaigning for the office of Michigan Secretary of State.
