FBI raids Ohio voter registration group before key fall races

FBI agents searched the Cleveland office of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative on Thursday, taking documents and computer files from a group that backs voter registration and voting-rights efforts in Ohio. Board member Prentiss Haney said agents also visited the homes of people who have worked with the organization and sought interviews tied to alleged voter fraud. The exact basis of the probe was not made public, but a person familiar with the matter said investigators were looking at possible fraud violations. The search came as Ohio heads into closely watched fall races for governor and the U.S. Senate. The Justice Department declined to comment, and the FBI's Cleveland office did not respond publicly Friday.
