Supporters of Alderman Freeman Bosley, Sr. announced today that they have filed complaints with the U.S. Attorney's Office, the St. Louis City Circuit Attorney, and the St. Louis City Board of Elections alleging fraud in the ongoing effort by a group of 3rd Ward residents to recall Bosley.

"We're tired of it. We've got the recall blues and we're going to do something about it now," said Janice Jernigans in an interview with PUB DEF following a press conference this morning in front of the Carnahan Courthouse downtown. Jernigans is with Citizens Against the Recall, a group supporting the longtime northside alderman. Bosley was not at this morning's event.
Tim Person, a well-known political consultant who worked in the administration of then-Mayor Freeman Bosley, Jr., said he is volunteering his support for the elder Bosley in his recall battle in part because of what he called the "disgusting" tactics of the recallers.
"This kind of problem led to the Voter ID Act," said Person. "You consistently have people that are intent on defrauding our system."
Person said he would not only like to see indictments in this case, but also forceful prosecutions.
