According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, 39-year-old Richard Jones was arrested in Solon, Ohio after questioning poll workers about whether his vote was counted properly. He said that after placing his vote, he got an error message, but was told that his vote would be counted manually. He returned to check on whether or not is vote had been counted and found that there was no record that he’d ever voted. He informed the workers that he was the local president of the Rev. Al Sharpton’s National Action Network, and the authorities were called promptly. Police dragged him from Solon High School—the polling place–and charged him with disorderly conduct, trespassing and resisting arrest. He was released on an $800 bond. He plans to file a complaint with the Justice Department.
