The possibility of voter fraud in this week’s referendum that would increase property taxes for the Red Clay School District has been raised by state Senator Karen Peterson.
And the Stanton Democrat says she is asking the Delaware Attorney General to investigate.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that Peterson says she received a report that a group of parents who had voted at one polling place saying they were going to vote at a second polling place.
The paper notes that referendums unlike general election are not given specific polling places.
In her press release Peterson noted that the referendum was decided by 880 votes and says that it would only take 441 duplicates to make a difference.
Red Clay spokeswoman Pati Nash told the News Journal that the district was not aware of any election irregularities.
