Over 100 Complaints Filed With Vote Fraud Task Force

The Associated Press
    A voter fraud task force set up by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Albuquerque got more than 100 complaints before closing its doors this week.
    U.S. Attorney David Iglesias said Wednesday the task force's telephone number at the FBI received about 75 calls, while 33 other complaints were sent directly to Iglesias' office during the 10 weeks or so that the task force operated.
    He listed as complaints: voters saying they were turned away at the polls because someone had voted in their stead; multiple voting by one voter; voters getting registration cards they said they didn't request; cards sent to non-U.S. citizens and underage people not eligible to vote; stolen voter registration applications; voters receiving absentee ballots they didn't request; a couple of overseas voters not receiving absentee ballots they did request; and political signs being taken from yards.
