Lake Havasu City, Arizona • An Arizona county attorney wants to investigate allegations of unspecified voter fraud during last year’s municipal elections in a rural community on the Arizona-Utah border that is home to a polygamous sect.
Today's News-Herald in Lake Havasu City reports that Mohave County Attorney Matt Smith is requesting $8,000 in county funds to investigate. Smith declined to provide specifics about the allegation but says he'll share more at a county board meeting on April 15.
Members of a polygamous group called the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, or FLDS, kept control of the town council in Colorado City, Arizona, during the 2018 elections.
