The ranking Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee,
Representative John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, plans to ask the
Federal Bureau of Investigation and a county prosecutor in Ohio
today to explore "inappropriate and likely illegal election
tampering" in at least one and perhaps several Ohio counties.

The request for an investigation, made in a letter that was also
provided to The New York Times, includes accounts from at least two
county employees, but is based largely on a sworn affidavit provided
by the Hocking County deputy director of elections, Sherole Eaton.
