VALLEY CITY, N.D. (KFGO-AM) -- No one will be prosecuted following a state crime bureau investigation into potential election tampering in a January school bond vote in the Maple Valley School District.
Barnes County State's Attorney Carl Martineck says the BCI agent who interviewed poll workers about people making improper statements to sway the vote found that much of it was hearsay. He says there was no direct evidence that election tampering actually took place at one of the polling sites.
The $10-million bond issue failed by only 10 votes. The district covers parts of Cass and Barnes counties.
