Legal action was promised after five of the 10 Republican candidates were disqualified from Michigan’s gubernatorial race on May 26.

On May 27, Oakland County entrepreneur Perry Johnson, one of the disqualified candidates, filed a lawsuit in the Michigan Court of Appeals, asking the court to require that the state’s Board of State Canvassers certify him for the Aug. 2 primary ballot.
