The chief said there is no specific information about potential civil unrest in Toledo. The measures being taken are simply precautionary, he said. "It's called being prepared," Chief Navarre said. "There's probably 100 different cities doing the same thing we're doing." Chief Navarre said similar precautions were taken during the 2004 presidential election. While patrol officers have not been assigned to polling locations throughout the city, they have been asked to "keep an eye" on them, the chief said. He said no additional officers are scheduled to work Tuesday or Wednesday. On past election days, Chief Navarre said there have been minor problems reported at polling locations. Tempers sometimes flare when the lines to vote are lengthy or if voters are turned away because they don't have proper identification, he said. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Mark Crispin Miller's "News From Underground" newsgroup.
