LIMA — Three cases of possible voter fraud are under investigation in Allen County.
Ken Terry, director of the Allen County Board of Elections, announced the cases were passed on to the prosecutor’s office after three people voted twice in the Nov. 6 election. Allen County Prosecutor Juergen Waldick said he was aware of the cases but the Allen County Sheriff’s Office will be investigating.

In one case, Terry said the person voted twice at two separate precincts using provisional ballots. In the other two cases, the people cast absentee ballots and also voted on election day at their respective precincts—one used a provisional ballot.

“Basically, these voters cast two ballots and one of them will not count,” Terry explained. “Since all documentation leading up to the actual digital voting is paper-based, the electronic check later caught the second ballot cast.”
