The Columbus (Ohio) Dispatch: When Jennifer Brunner cast her vote last fall, she is certain she saw something so odd on her touchscreen voting machine that it prompted a state criminal investigation into the Franklin County Board of Elections. Brunner isn't the average voter. As secretary of state, she is in charge of making sure Ohio's elections are properly conducted. At least 15 of the county's electronic machines are under double-lock at a warehouse. It is being treated as a crime scene. County elections officials asked the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation to seize the machines during the investigation by Attorney General Marc Dann and forensics consultants. Investigators already have found that many of the county's voting machines weren't tested before the November election, and a function that tracked changes to the machines was purposely turned off.
