Judge Rules Conyers Can Be on Primary Ballot Despite Not Meeting Signature Requirements | National Review Online:
"In 2012, Michigan Republican representative Thad McCotter was kept off of the ballot because of invalid signatures. 
McCotter initially pursued a write-in campaign, before eventually dropping the effort and resigning from Congress.
 Conyers is currently the second-longest serving congressman, and will become the longest-serving next session if reelected, because fellow Michigan congressman John Dingell is retiring."
