Ohio Official Refuses Interview Over Vote
Another Republican who feels he is above the law. When will these rubes learn that they are accountable to the people who elected them? Maybe a long prison sentence will wake them up to this fact. Don't let this die. We need to make the other half of the nation, those who voted these thieves into power, realize that they are the most crooked bunch ever to take office and that they are in fact stealing from the citizens of this country.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell has requested a protective order to prevent him from being interviewed as part of an unusual court challenge of the presidential vote.
Blackwell, in a court filing, says he's not required to be interviewed by lawyers as a high-ranking public official, and accused the voters challenging the results of ``frivolous conduct'' and abusive and unnecessary requests of elections officials around the state.
Citing fraud, 37 people who voted for president Nov. 2 have challenged the election results with the Ohio Supreme Court. The voters refer to irregularities including long lines, a shortage of voting machines in minority precincts and problems with computer equipment.
President Bush defeated John Kerry by 119,000 votes, according to the official count by Blackwell. Ohio's 20 electoral votes gave Bush the 270 he needed for victory. Kerry conceded the morning after Election Day. Full Story Here
