SALT LAKE CITY - Folks love voting in Daggett County. Even when they may not live there.
Daggett County registered 947 voters for Tuesday's election — four more than the county's population in 2005, according to the most recent Census figures.
Now, Attorney General Mark Shurtleff's office is looking into complaints of vote-stuffing in the county, spokesman Paul Murphy said.
Democrats suspect County Clerk Vickie McKee is letting outsiders swell the Daggett County registration rolls to give Republicans an advantage. They say the father of the deputy running against Democratic Sheriff Allen Campbell has 14 adults registered at his household.
