Death Threats to Ohio Sec of State? It has nothing to do with McCain’s negative campaign

by David Safier

Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Bruner successfully thwarted an attempt by Republicans to suppress votes by stopping the registration process on any new registrations with the slightest irregularities. The Supreme Court ruled for her and against the Republicans.

As a result, she has had death threats and suspicious packages sent to her office. And she had to put her website into “static mode” because of a series of security breech attempts.

From BradBlog:

The threats against Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner’s office come in the wake of a rash of recent burglaries and vandalism at ACORN offices in Massachusetts and Seattle, as well as death threats delivered to a number of their workers following much-hyped media reports of “voter fraud” by the community organization. The attacks against the group escalated following the Republican Presidential nominee John McCain’s comments about ACORN “voter fraud” at a recent rally, and his extraordinary allegation that ACORN was “on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history in this country, maybe destroying the fabric of democracy” at last week’s Presidential debate.

Notably, there has been no actual evidence of any such “voter fraud” by ACORN, simply allegations by many on the right.

The recent threats against Brunner and her office follow on criticism from state Republicans, who have launched a number of legal suits against her during the final weeks leading up to this November’s election…

The fact that McCain, Palin and their surrogates have created a nonexistent crisis where ACORN is trying to steal the election, and the FBI has put staff on the case, even though it admits it doesn’t have enough people to investigate corporate fraud . . . that has nothing to do with it. How could it?

Nothing to see here folks. Move along. Nothing to see here.
