Ohio Letter Seeks Illegal Contributions (Blackwell Caught Red Handed)
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=511&u=/ap/20050108/ap_on_el_gu/ohio_election_chief&printer=1

Well, we always knew Blackwell was a crook. Now the rest of the world knows too.

COLUMBUS, Ohio - The state's chief elections officer, accused of mishandling the presidential vote in Ohio, sent a fund-raising letter for his own 2006 gubernatorial campaign that was accompanied by a request for illegal contributions.

A pledge card with the letter from Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell, a Republican who co-chaired the Bush-Cheney election campaign in Ohio, said "corporate & personal checks are welcome."

Corporate donations are illegal in Ohio.

His spokesman, Carlo LoParo, said Saturday that any corporate donations would be returned.
