Congressman to call on FBI to investigate ballot tampering allegations

by John Byrne/Raw Story Editor

Rep. John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.) will call on the Federal Bureau of Investigation tomorrow to investigate allegations of electoral tampering in Clermont County, Ohio, which Raw Story revealed Wednesday.

Rep. Conyers has received a letter from the Justice Department in response to an earlier letter the congressman issued. The Department said they had found nothing significant to support claims that Triad Election Systems tampered with electronic voting machines in Hocking County, Ohio.

In response, Conyers issued a new letter Friday which thanks the Department for investigating earlier charges, and asks them to expand their inquiry to include an examination of charges that stickers were placed on ballots in Ohio.
