Ohio sec. of state hit by death threats, cyberattacks
http://rawstory.com/news/2008/Brunner_GOP_trying_to_intimidate_voters_1023.html

David Edwards and Muriel Kane
Published: Thursday October 23, 2008




A GOP attempt to force as many as 200,000 newly-registered voters in Ohio to cast provisional ballots was rejected last week by the US Supreme Court. Since then, reports CNN's John Roberts, things in Ohio have gotten "downright nasty."

Roberts spoke with Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, who has had her official state website hacked and has even been receiving death threats. A Monday press release from Brunner's office stated, "In recent weeks, phone lines and e-mail channels have been barraged, even in the business filings section of the office, with menacing messages and even threats of harm or death. Last week, a suspicious package covered with threatening messages and containing an unidentified powder was mailed to the Secretary of State's office via the previous location of the Client Services Center."

1. Sounds rather UnAmerican
Amazing the bad behavior of the "conservative patriots".

2. The side making the death threats
is always the side that is wrong.

And it's usually the repuke side.
