Incoming state Representative John Rizzo from Kansas City, Missouri, may be denied his seat in the legislature by the Missouri Speaker of the House because of voter fraud in the Democratic primary.  Rizzo defeated his opponent by a single vote in the primary.  Rizzo was presented with a 100 page document detailing voter fraud which occurred in the Democratic primary.  St. Louis today has the story:

“Clearly there’s a lot of smoke,” Tilley said of Royster’s allegations, which include that relatives and supporters of Rizzo’s who live outside the district illegally cast votes and that a group of Somalis who couldn’t speak English were instructed how to vote by a Rizzo supporter.

Among the allegations:

• Throughout primary election day, an unidentified Rizzo supporter brought groups of voters to various precincts who appeared to be Somalis who did not speak or read English. According to affidavits from several election judges, the Rizzo supporter handed out the ballots and told the Somalis to vote for Rizzo.

• Several Rizzo campaign supporters, including relatives, voted in the election even though in campaign documents they list home addresses that are outside the 40th District.

• A total of 14 ballots weren’t signed by any election officials, as required by law.
