Columbus- A group that still believes widespread voter fraud aided George W. Bush's 2004 victory in Ohio, triggering his successful presidential re-election, is asking the state for a criminal investigation.
The group, led by Columbus attorney Cliff Arnebeck, has tried almost since the polls closed three years ago to get a judge or prosecutor anywhere to validate their claims of voter suppression in Cuyahoga County and elsewhere but have little to show for their efforts.
Now they are turning to state Attorney General Marc Dann, whose office has authority under a nearly two-year-old election reform law to conduct criminal probes into allegations of voter fraud.
