Mahoning County Attorney’s Office investigating possible voter fraud

(WKBN) – When the Mahoning County Election Commission approved the election results, they also discussed voter fraud.

Chairman Dave Betras said there were four signatures that did not match those on file for voters. These four of his voters were disenfranchised.

He said these voters either didn’t use their normal signatures or they could be voters fraudulent.

The Commission referred the matter to the Mahoning County Attorney’s Office.

“We need to get to the bottom of it and let the public know that we take voter fraud very seriously, and we also take your right to vote very seriously. ‘ said Betrus.

Despite low voter turnout this year, the board is considering expanding education on election safety by visiting schools, colleges and civic groups.
