Re: Voting fraud/irregularities in U. S. Senate primary

Dear Public officials:

At approximately 1:43 P. M. today I received a call from [redacted]. Mr. [redacted] is an attorney. Mr. [redacted] told me he had gone to vote, and was assigned to voting machine 009827 at Site 51, 69 W. Washington. When he inserted his card, he found that the machine had already voted for Mitt Romney and Steve Sauerberg.

Mr. [redacted] said he spoke with the supervisor (phon: "Latisha" and she gave him a new machine). [Redacted] can be contacted at (312) [redacted]. Mr. [Redacted] authorized me to release his name to law enforcement and investigative agencies but has not yet authorized me to release his name to the media.

Mr. [redacted's] allegation is obviously a very serious one, particularly since we have no idea how prevalent the fraud/glitch is, and particularly since it comes after many ballots have already been cast on day #1.

Most respectfully I would ask that you open an emergency investigation of how prevalent these irregularities are, so that the vote fraud can stop.

As a federal candidate, I am protected by the full extent of federal criminal and civil remedies.

Please feel free to contact me for any further information. Please be advised I have no personal knowledge of the situation and have relied on Mr. [redacted's] status as an officer of the court to validate his credibility in this matter.

Respectfully submitted,

ANDY MARTIN
