Democrat John Conyers’ bedside wish for his son to take his Michigan House seat, after being forced from Congress over a sexual misconduct scandal, likely won’t come true -- now that the younger Conyers reportedly has failed to qualify for the ballot.
Conyers III reportedly fell about 95 valid signatures short of the required 1,000 to get on the ballot for the Detroit-area House seat, and nearly half of the roughly 1,800 submitted signatures were ruled invalid.
“My legacy cannot be compromised or diminished in any way,” Conyers said at the time. “I have a great family legacy, especially in my oldest boy, John Conyers III, who I incidentally endorse to replace me in my seat in Congress.”

Does that mean that those people actually vote? Would that be the wrong district or in multiple districts
Is this a case of people just signing anything in front of them.

Probably.
When I've signed petitions before, you have to list your address. Anyone who didn't live in Conyer's district would be ruled ineligible, as well as anyone who's stated address didn't check out.
