Wingnut accused of threatening Ohio election chief

A 51-year-old Columbus man was jailed after he allegedly made a telephone death threat to Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.

Brunner, a Democrat, has been flooded with irate phone calls from right-wing activists because she opted to do her job right. One of her official duties is to make sure the election goes smoothly and follows all applicable laws. But the Republicans want a repeat of 2004 when all those votes kept getting lost. (Remember that?)

The man who allegedly made the death threat (who is a registered Republican) faces 5 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.

Meanwhile, Ohio Republican big shot Kevin DeWine thinks the recent security breach at the Secretary of State's website was a hoax by the big, mean libs to make the GOP look eeeeevil. Well, the GOP's been doing a good job of making itself look evil lately. (Look at how they voted on the teen gulag bill in Congress. Contrast that with the Democrats.)
