Reporter, photographer threatened with arrest
Enquirer reporter Janice Morse and photographer Tony Jones were threatened with arrest this morning at a Butler County polling place, while attempting to photograph and interview Congressman John Boehner as he voted.
Boehner had told the media he would available for interviews this morning, but Jones and Morse were told by poll workers that they could not come into the polling place, which is at the Church of the Nazarene on Tylersville Road.
West Chester Township police had arrived at the church and were talking with poll workers. More details as they are available.

State law DOES NOT forbid credialed media access to polling places. Just ask Blackwell's spokesman. There is legal precedence after challenges to exit pollers in the 2004 election.
