FBI Clears Maryland Governor in Fraud Probe
An FBI investigation into allegations of voter fraud in Gov. Parris Glendening’s razor-thin victory over a Republican rival has turned up no evidence of widespread criminal wrongdoing, a published report said.
The Baltimore Sun, quoting unidentified FBI sources, said the investigation uncovered some irregularities but no evidence of serious vote tampering or other criminal conduct alleged by Ellen R. Sauerbrey.
Sauerbrey lost to Glendening by fewer than 6,000 votes. She alleged that votes had been cast in the names of dead people and inmates and some voters had listed abandoned houses as their addresses.
