CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) -- A Linn County official says an impostor voted during the special election on allowing casino gambling in Linn County.
Auditor and elections commissioner Joel Miller says the impostor voted at a southeast Cedar Rapids precinct on Tuesday.
Miller says the incident came to light when a woman went to vote but found that someone had used her name to vote earlier in the day.
Miller referred the matter to the Linn County Sheriff. An investigator is interviewing precinct poll watchers.
Miller says the woman was allowed to cast a provisional ballot. The local absentee ballot board will decide whether to count it.
The measure was overwhelmingly approved.
Voter fraud in Iowa? Wonder if the Sec of State is aware? Seems to me that a voter ID law would have prevented this.....
