The sworn circulators behind the senior-facility signature operation
Every signature in these filings has a name attached to it — the circulator who swore, under oath, that they personally watched it happen. Here is who that record points to.
Brouk campaign manager. Senior-care business operator. 976 sworn signature lines.
Melissa Moran runs a business in the senior-care field and is president of the Parkville Area Chamber (PACE) board. She is also Dale Brouk’s campaign manager. Between June 15 and June 30 she swore notarized affidavits on 976 petition signature lines — exactly 244 for each of the four candidates — and 42 percent of them were collected inside senior-living facilities. She is the sole circulator of record for every signature taken at Riverstone (184), Primrose (52), and the 6311 N Cosby building (24), and for 20 of the 24 signatures taken inside the Sage Grove memory-care facility. Her business exists on the trust families place in someone who works with the elderly. The affidavits show exactly where that trust took her clipboards.

Candidate for Presiding Commissioner. The operation’s biggest circulator — 1,274 sworn lines.
Brouk left the Republican primary in May and needed signatures to reach November. He didn’t just benefit from the facility sweeps — he personally swore more petition sheets than any other circulator in the four filings, including 67 signatures collected in one day inside the Garden Village senior community, from residents averaging 82 years old. Both sheets of the double-filed fifteen-name roster in the Robinson filing carry his affidavit. As the candidate, he assembled and filed a petition of his own that contains a notarized-but-unsigned affidavit, a signature postdating its own notarization, and 141 senior-facility signature lines.

Candidate for Auditor. PACE board vice-president.
Robinson’s own filing contains the double-counted roster and the misfiled Cayer sheet — fifteen voters apparently counted twice toward his total, once on a page that doesn’t even nominate him. He also personally circulated petition sheets, including 13 senior-facility signature lines under his own affidavit.

Candidates for Collector and Treasurer.
The remaining two of the four coordinated filings. Kendall personally collected 59 senior-facility signature lines, including 4 inside the memory-care facility. Cayer’s own filing carries the signature/printed-name mismatch shown in the evidence — a line where the signature and the printed name belong to two different people. Nearly every circulator in this operation carried all four candidates’ petitions simultaneously through the same facilities on the same days: one operation, four ballot lines.

Everything on this page described as a record fact appears on the face of documents filed with the Platte County Board of Election Commissioners — public records, reproduced here unaltered. Questions of what individual signers understood, and of anyone’s intent, are allegations that have been referred to law enforcement and state agencies for investigation; no charges have been filed and no agency has announced findings.
