Massachusetts state legislative candidate John Villamaino (R) is under investigation into whether he "orchestrated an illegal scheme to cast absentee ballots on behalf of hundreds of voters in hope of winning a primary election," the Boston Globe reports.
"State election officials were tipped off to the potential voter fraud when a suspiciously large number of residents of the Springfield suburb of East Longmeadow suddenly changed party registration from Democrat to independent, making them eligible to vote in the upcoming Republican primary." |
