Secretary of state misusing position
Mar. 7, 2004Ohioans can't seem to escape the endless saga of the state's new voting machines, which have been among the most contested government programs in recent times. Since Congress set aside some $2 billion in 2002 for all 50 states to upgrade their elections equipment, the process has been fraught with kinks -counties squabbled about which machines to buy, the state waffled on how much it could afford, and the CEO of the company making the voting machines wrote a letter saying he was committed to delivering Ohio's electoral votes to President Bush. As the state official responsible for elections, Secretary of State J. Kenneth Blackwell has been involved in all these sordid chapters of the voting epic. Now, for the first time, he himself is the subject of one. Blackwell intends to use the machines to help his campaign for governor.

Citing the state's history as an independent republic, they have opted to join New Hampshire instead. However, in order to complete the process of secession, both Vermont and New Hampshire's legislatures must approve the change, and the hopes of that happening are dismal at best.
