A Connecticut visitor to the Tri-state has apparently told the Hamilton County Board of Elections that he or she registered to vote here during the last week in September and cast a ballot on the same day.
Elections officials say the visitor told them about the situation and asked to have the ballot pulled from consideration.
That is now one of 18 early voting ballots cast by people who registered and voted the same day in Hamilton County, during a week-long period where early voting started in Ohio and the state's voter registration deadline ended.
Elections officials tell 9News that in some cases, voter registration cards mailed to the homes and apartments listed on registration materials was returned as being "undeliverable."
Elections board staff members are now investigating the validity of those registrations, as well as why the registration cards were returned.
This is one of two voter registrations now being conducted into the almost 700 people who registered and voted in same day in Hamilton County during that early voting and registration line overlap.
A special prosecutor in now checking those registrations for potential fraud, after allegations surfaced that ACORN and other community groups may have submitted false voter registrations as they prepared for the November 4th election.
