seized more than 5,000 absentee ballots and
other documents used in a Cherokee Nation
election last weekend after nine separate com-
plaints of voter fraud were turned over to the

an unprecedented third term with a 3,274 to
1,966 advantage in absentee ballots.
"Just look at the numbers of the absentee
ballot count. It doesn't leave much doubt that
