Ohio’s top elections official has referred a case of potential voter fraud to the state’s attorney general for investigation.

Republican Jon Husted said Friday that an initial review by the Fulton County Board of Elections revealed that an individual appeared to have voted in both northwest Ohio and South Carolina in the 2008 and 2010 general elections.

Husted asked Attorney General Mike DeWine to investigate.

The county board said the individual has been registered there since 2006.
