Ohio Secretary of State Candidate Tim Kettler Asks Why Blackwell Appoints Election Law Violator to BOE?

Tim Kettler, Green Party member and candidate for the office of Ohio Secretary of State said today "It comes as no surprise that Kenneth Blackwell would consider the appointment of a fellow GOP member to the Warren County Board of Election. "

"What is disturbing is that David Fornshell of Lebanon was found to have violated Ohio Election Law during the 2004 election. As reported in the Dayton Daily News, the Ohio Election Commission found clear and convincing evidence that he made a false statement during the 2004 primary race. Given that Mr. Blackwell is the subject of a federal lawsuit brought by myself and fellow Green Party members David Cobb, Anita Rios and others over federal and state voting rights violations during the 2004 Presidential Vote Recount, I would hope he would consider his appointments carefully."
