More than 24,000 St. Louis City voters had the opportunity to vote twice in the Novemeber elections... Michelle Wirth has more from Jefferson City.

Secretary of State Matt Blunt's office says thousands were registered to vote in multiple precincts. He released the numbers as part of the investigation into voter fraud allegations in St. Louis on Election Day. Blunt says people who change addresses multiple times may be responsible for this large number.
