Ohio county downplays possible voter fraud


associated Press

CLEVELAND (AP) - Election officials in swing state Ohio's largest county say proof of voter-registration fraud does not mean illegal ballots will be cast on Nov. 4.

Members of both parties with the Cuyahoga County Elections Board say computer databases flag people who try to register multiple times. They also say Ohio voter identification laws exclude people from casting regular ballots when the board has not verified residency.

The board is investigating suspicious registration cards submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform, a national group that tries to register poor voters.

By September, county officials found about 50 names on cards with irregularities involving people's names, addresses and birthdays.
