CRANSTON, R.I. (AP) - Police are investigating eight possible voting irregularities in Cranston, including one case in which officials say an 80-year-old man voted twice in the November general election.
The Providence Journal reports (https://bit.ly/2lS0Tgd ) Republican Mayor Allan Fung acknowledged the probe and that at least one case involves an individual who voted twice.
Democratic City Committee chairman Michael Sepe says an 80-year-old Knightsville man cast a pre-election ballot at City Hall before voting again at a regular polling place on another day.
Fung says authorities are also investigating other kinds of possible wrongdoing. He declined to explain the nature of the irregularities or whether any constitute a criminal or civil offense.
The irregularities were uncovered during a routine election audit.
