South Dakota attorney general Mark Barnett today will discuss the results of his investigation into alleged voter fraud among American Indians.

Barnett's office has looked into claims that Native voters were offered $10 on election day. The allegations were contained in affidavits collected by Republican lawyers.

Indian voters helped re-elect Sen. Tim Johnson (D). He won a narrow victory over Republican John Thune.
