Ohio LP protests harassment during primary voting Libertarians who tried to vote in the presidential primary on March 7 ran into resistance, rudeness and ridicule from poll workers, State LP Director Dena Bruedigam has charged. "Many people were told that Libertarian ballots were not available," she said, despite the LP's "hard work to meet the state's requirements for minor party status." Other Libertarians were "laughed at and ridiculed" by poll workers, who tried to talk them out of voting Libertarian. Some voters were even ordered "to choose between a Republican or Democrat ballot," she said. In Franklin County, where Bruedigam said the situation was especially bad, County Chair James Moyer denounced the "fiasco." "The right to vote is sacred," he said. "It is illegal and immoral for an election official to influence a voter's choices. We don't see how the Secretary of State can certify the results of this election." The state LP is investigating "all related situations statewide" and is considering suing the state, said Bruedigam. -- Kathleen The imposition of stigma is the commonest form of violence used in democratic societies. -- R.
