The Associated Press is reporting that James Carabelli, the chair of the Macomb County Republican party, is suing the Michigan Messenger and its parent organization, the non-profit Center for Independent Media, over the Messenger’s report last month in which Carabelli was quoted as saying the party planned to use lists of foreclosed homeowners as the basis for Election Day challenges.

“As soon as we see the complaint, we will issue a response on Michigan Messenger,” said CIM editorial director Jefferson Morley. CIM sponsors the Minnesota Independent, the Michigan Messenger and online news sites in three other states and Washington, D.C.
