Fraud charged in Ohio election suit over Carter bid
A federal judge heard arguments in a suit alleging fraud to block President Elect Jimmy Carter from Ohio's 25 electoral votes and seek a new election. Massillon attorney Richard Reichel, for defeated electors of three parties, asked for an injunction blocking certification. Reichel charged extensive fraud in a mass registration drive by AFL CIO and labor groups, citing phony names and addresses and use of factories and union halls. Despite the suit, Secretary of State Ted Brown completed a recount showing Carter gaining votes, 2,011,621 to 2,000,505, after all 12,981 precincts were rechecked.
