Lincoln Petition Fraud Under Fire | Lincoln News

Lincoln’s petition fraud scandal is exploding, with city officials, political consultants, and even the governor now caught in a whirlwind of accusations and investigations. Councilman Brody Weber challenges the integrity of the probe and accuses petitioners of hypocrisy, while a challenger to the county attorney demands a special prosecutor over alleged ties to Republican firm Axiom Strategies — despite no direct payment. The petition group claims they’re victims of criminal sabotage and that career politicians are stalling their term-limit push, but Weber urges them to look inward first. Sheriff’s Office says no political motive found, yet another gubernatorial candidate was disqualified for similar fraud. State leaders are now pushing to scrap per-signature payments, and a subcontractor vows cooperation with law enforcement to track down those behind the alleged sabotage.
