Ohio Says 450 Votes Under Scrutiny From '12 Election

Husted tells The Cincinnati Enquirer that in the majority of the cases, there was only an "attempted effort" at fraud, and only a few voters actually cast two ballots. He said some of the voters made an innocent mistake, unsure whether they cast an absentee ballot. He said 129 of the 450 questionable votes went to law enforcement for investigation. There were more than 5.6 million votes cast in Ohio in the 2012 presidential election. Hamilton County was the first in the state to prosecute voter fraud from the 2012 election. ---
