Man charged with threatening Ohio elections chief

An Ohio man has been charged with making a death threat against the state's top elections official.

The State Highway Patrol says Dana McArtor was charged Friday with intimidation in a telephoned threat to the office of Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.

Brunner spokesman Jeff Ortega says the call last Friday threatened to kill the secretary of state.

Her office says it has been inundated with threats during a busy season of voter lawsuits and alleged registration irregularities.

The 51-year-old Columbus man remains jailed. He is to be arraigned Saturday.
