DescriptionCOLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — 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 (BROO'-nur).

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.

A message was left at a phone listing for the address on his court record. The record didn't indicate whether he had an attorney.
