Vote fraud alleged in Mount Vernon

In 2008, Derek Scott, of 315 S. Ninth Ave., died of colon cancer. In 2012, he voted in the Mount Vernon school board election. In that same election, Dyanan Jaikaran, a candidate, appears to have voted twice. And another voter used a city-owned tennis shed as his address. A group calling itself Concerned Citizens of Mount Vernon is claiming the 2012 school vote was rife with fraud and has sent letters to the U.S. Department of Justice and state attorney general requesting monitors for this year’s election and budget vote.
