The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections referred more 14 cases of potential voter registration fraud to the county prosecutor today as part of an investigation of suspicious registration cards submitted by ACORN.The board voted on each case individually after reviewing copies of cards the registration department flagged as suspicious.
Of about 72,000 cards ACORN turned in this year, election workers found batches of cards with the same name but different addresses, mismatched signatures, or different Social Security numbers. More than 5,000 were missing information and could not be used. The board could not verify the address on 3,500 others.
The board referred four cases of potential registration fraud to the prosecutor last week. The county sheriff has subpoenaed employment records of 41 workers from ACORN’s Cleveland office.
A spokesman for Prosecutor Bill Mason said the investigation is ongoing. Charges have not been filed.
