Unsuccessful City Council candidate David Oh yesterday asked District Attorney Lynne M. Abraham to investigate instances of voter fraud in the Nov. 6 election based on allegations that absentee ballots were cast for elderly veterans who did not vote.

Oh based his allegations partly on interviews conducted with residents of the Delaware Valley Veterans Home in Northeast Philadelphia. Six of 35 people interviewed said they didn’t vote, according to affidavits supplied by Oh.

Abraham’s spokeswoman, Cathie Abookire, said the office had not received Oh’s request as of 5 p.m. “When we get it, we’ll read it,” she said.

The election, in which Oh was edged out by incumbent Jack Kelly by 122 votes, was certified by the Board of Elections on Monday. Oh is not contesting the election through state court, and has not accused Kelly or his supporters of being involved in election fraud.
