1 voter fraud case found in southwest Ohio probe

CINCINNATI (AP) -- A prosecutor's investigation into alleged widespread voting fraud last fall in one of Ohio's largest counties has turned up one case.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joe Deters subpoenaed the records of roughly 600 people who voted in the county during a weeklong window during which new voters could register and cast a ballot on the same day.
A report Tuesday by a special prosecutor appointed to the investigation found that only one voter committed fraud.
A Connecticut man in town visiting his sister cast a ballot on Oct. 4 but later told officials what he had done.He pleaded guilty Dec. 29 to attempted false voter registration and was sentenced to one year of probation, a $1,000 fine and 250 hours of community service.
