The New York Times' Tom Zeller Jr. explains what, exactly, the Michigan Democrat is up to in an article entitled "Lawmaker Seeks Inquiry Into Ohio Vote":

The ranking Democratic member of the House Judiciary Committee, Representative John Conyers Jr. of Michigan, plans to ask the Federal Bureau of Investigation and a county prosecutor in Ohio today to explore "inappropriate and likely illegal election tampering" in at least one and perhaps several Ohio counties.

The request for an investigation, made in a letter that was also provided to The New York Times, includes accounts from at least two county employees, but is based largely on a sworn affidavit provided by the Hocking County deputy director of elections, Sherole Eaton.

Among other things, Ms. Eaton says in her affidavit that a representative of Triad Governmental Systems, the Ohio firm that created and maintains the vote-counting software in dozens of Ohio counties, made several adjustments to the Hocking County tabulator last Friday, in advance of the state's recount, which is taking place this week.

I have neglected to covere the allegations of voter fraud on this blog for a number of reasons, most importantly because of the dearth of real information available despite the saturation of coverage on left-leaning blogs. That having been said, when a story like this hits the Times, it is clearly worth noting.
