Citizen arrest of Blackwell for violation of Ohio statute which reguires

[In Truth We Trust]

that vote is public record.

Would someone in Ohio please form a damn posse and arrestr this SOB

[goodboy]

1. I would but we'd probably be shot.

We can't get anywhere near Katherine Blackwell.

2. Post this in the Ohio forum

Maybe we could dig up some data for them too. Make it a little easier. I'll start searching.

3. Good suggestion I will and I hope something comes from it

Thanks

4. It says all elections must be by ballot

they did use some evoting machines. Are they considered ballots?

This link is for the Ohio state constitution:

5. "No power of suspending laws shall ever be exercised except

by the general assembly." Section 18

Does this apply to Blackwell blocking access to the poll books?

6. are you crazy?

Sorry, i don't want to do jail time!!!!!!!!!

[In Truth We Trust]

7. I didn't suggest that YOU do time Only the actual lawbreaker Blackwell

Do you live in Ohio? Do you live in a democracy?

[SeveneightyWhoa]

8. Why would you do jail time?

(Hmmm. Brand-new posters are coming in here telling Americans they'll go to jail if they do this. I wonder why?)

10. Could the poster be referring to the two senators from Florida being

arrested for trying to deliver a letter about the voting irregularities to Katherine Blackwell? :shrug:

9. there is no such thing as a citizens arrest n/t

[berni_mccoy]

12. Actually, there is

Even D.C. has laws about the lawful detainment of a suspect.

See http://www.constitution.org/grossack/arrest.htm

It is a constituational right and you can even bear arms to do so (9th and 2nd ammendments).

14. In Illinois there is.

It's not TERRIBLY common, but I know of a few instances where it's happened.

11. You can (& probably would) be charged with kidnapping.

Any time you contact the police & they investigate your concern & it leads to an arrest it is considered a "Citzen's Arrest". You can't go around arresting people unless you want to do time yourself.

13. Probably the best route of action

Is to warn the police that if they don't arrest Blackwell for felony violation of state statutes, that a citizen posse will be organized to do so. This will get the police involved in a hurry.

Again, citizen's arrest is a lawfully recognized practice: http://www.constitution.org/grossack/arrest.htm
