Unethical "Challengers" in Ohio?

More from Dan Gilmor — A Report From Columbus:

Two apparently Republican poll workers have been showing people at our precinct as their demonstration of voting (ohio has state-hired assistants who can show how to operate the touch screen machines, with live ballots and voters in the booth) only how to vote for Bush.

If this is true, and I have no reason yet to think otherwise, these challengers should be arrested. This is the kind of thing that no one should tolerate, and is the kind of crap that gets us 'elections-by-court'. I generally lean Republican, but this kind of… stuff… makes me feel sick.
