1,000 Rally In Ohio Outside Sec. Of State Office

HeadlineOct 27, 2004

And protests have already begun over the election. In Ohio on Monday civil rights leader and Georgia Congressman John Lewis led a march of over 1,000 people to the office of Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell. Lewis said, “We will not and we cannot forget about what happened in Florida, and we’re not going to let it happen here in Ohio.” Concerns have been raised for months over how fair Blackwell Republican, will be on Election Day. Similar concerns have been raised about the Secretary of State in Florida, Glenda Hood. She was appointed by President Bush’s brother Jeb last year and in 2000 she served as an elector for the Bush/Cheney ticket. The New York Times recently editorialized that she “cannot be trusted to run an impartial election.”
