The district attorney in Hampden County is investigating whether a Republican candidate for state representative orchestrated an illegal scheme to cast absentee ballots on behalf of hundreds of voters in hope of winning a primary election.
State election officials were tipped off to the potential voter fraud when a suspiciously large number of residents of the Springfield suburb of East Longmeadow suddenly changed party registration from Democrat to independent, making them eligible to vote in the upcoming Republican primary.

Not at all surprising for today's brand of so-called "republicans".
It is good to know Republicans are finally learning voter fraud techniques from their Democratic counterparts. Perhaps this will strengthen voter ID efforts in a nonpartisan manner.
