Investigators in South Dakota continue to examine voter registration and absentee ballots from the state's reservations.

Shannon, Dewey, Ziebach and Pennington counties are targeted. Incorrect birth dates, wrong addresses and other irregularities have surfaced.

Local, state and federal authorities are involved except in Pennington, which is being handled locally.

The probe is linked to workers who tried to register Indian voters as part of a Democratic outreach effort.
