Although right-wingers will relegate the following tale to their "tin foil hat" file, I advise everyone else to read this story carefully. This account strikes me as quite credible -- and quite frightening.

Katrina Sumner is a key recount activist in Ohio. Along with Joan Quinn, she was the first to report on Blackwell's outrageous (and illegal) decision to lock down the ballots in Greene county. Sumner also helped release the story of the ballots left in an unlocked building.

At the time she wrote the following, I was trying to reach her. I'm glad I didn't get through -- she must have been quite frightened at that time, and might not have reacted well to hearing the voice of a stranger. (I did manage to reach a helpful associate of Quinn's.)

(from Katrina Sumner)

Last night I was returning from Columbus and was scared out of my mind. First I’ve been getting calls from a man that has been able to tell me each and every place I’ve been or roads I’ve been traveling on (a group of 3 other women heard this while driving me to meet Jesse Jackson and Cliff Arnebeck last night, having the call on speaker). Then while driving back I was ran off the road by two dark blue Suburbans(?), bigger than 4 runners anyway, with dark tinted windows. They came up behind me with their brights on and then one came to the side of me and ran me into the ditch off I-70. I saw as they sped away that one had a Maryland license plate, but in the heat of it all I couldn’t get the plate number or even see the plate of the other one. It’s becoming apparent to me that someone is not liking what I’m doing.

I for one had not heard about this. Thanks for the post.
