"Blackwell reports embarrassing buy of Diebold stock"

The Cleveland Plain Dealer offers this report, which begins: "Secretary of State Ken Blackwell made an embarrassing announcement Monday: He accidentally bought stock in Diebold Inc., a voting machine maker that benefited from decisions made by his office. In a required filing with the Ohio Ethics Commission, the GOP gubernatorial hopeful said his hefty portfolio included 178 shares of Diebold stock, which sold for a loss." Dan Tokaji comments.
