Feds Probe Voter Fraud in South Dakota

E-MAIL STORY RESPOND TO EDITOR PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
WASHINGTON — Federal officials confirm that a vote fraud investigation is unfolding on Indian reservations in South Dakota, home of one of the tightest U.S. Senate races in the nation.
Federal officials in Washington told Fox News that so far, the alleged fraud is said to have occurred on the Cheyenne River Reservation and the Pine River Reservation, and an investigation has been ongoing in six counties, including Dewey, Ziebach and Fall River.
According to officials, the FBI has uncovered the registration of minors, dead people, and people who do not exist. Many of the registrations have included bogus names and invalid addresses.
Investigators said in one case a woman was registered to vote a week after her death.
They have also found multiple absentee ballots distributed to the same registered voter but returned with different signatures, the officials said.
The case was brought to the attention of the South Dakota attorney general's office when county auditors began discovering problems with absentee ballot requests and votes. State Attorney General Mark Barnett said the investigation has been ongoing for two weeks.

Among the state's probable primary voters, 11 percent say they would never vote for Clinton, while 27 percent would never vote for Obama.
The ARG data run counter to earlier polling data. A Mason-Dixon poll in mid-May reported that Clinton trailed Obama by 17 points. Likewise, an April poll conducted by Dakota Wesleyan University found Obama leading by 14 points...
