Who: Ohio Secretary of State

What: Attempted to disallow over 300,000 voter registrations in Ohio by issuing a last-minuite directive that new voter registrations be on 80-lb weight paper or be disallowed. (10/04)

Detail: Only after a lawsuit was filed by the Ohio Democratic Party did Blackwell back down from this stunt. This was so controversial Ohio State Senators, Marc Bann and Robert Hagan, and Teresa Fedor called for his resignation. Fedor stated in 2000 Blackwell was in Florida helping the Republican party as on of their principle electoral system advisors. As a gift for this Whoring, the Republican Party is trying to have him elected as Governor of Ohio in 2006.
