Thanks for the encouragement. I have summarized my analysis and would like to get it to sympathic new agencies in Columbus, OH. Does anyone have Columbus connections to identify a good reporter who may be willing to follow up on this?

LETTER TO NEWS AGENCY:
I believe I have good evidence that ArcXIX, the blogger the received national attention for his attack on 17-year-old Bristol Palin, is a poll worker at the Franklin County (Ohio) Board of Elections and that his name may be Charles Hartley.

ArcXIX self-incrimination that he works as a poll worker: http://www.dailykos.com/search?offset=0&old_count=30&string=arcxix&type=comment_by&sortby=relevance&count=30&wayback=2628000&wayfront=0&next=Next+Page+%3E%3E
Poll Worker Here (0+ / 0-)
This was my first year working for the Board of Elections. I wanted some more hands on training, but the two hundred page manual was quite good.
We had 275 people turnout at our location (twice the amount as last November), and all of them were surprised by the lack of lines. An emphasis on early voting helped relieve the actual day of election by a large margin.
Wish my candidate carried the state, but that is an entirely different can of worms that does not involve the Boards fine execution this year (so far).

Didn't find my name through that link, but the Franklin County BoE website has me listed as always. Found two friends not listed. Time to see what is going on here.

Why I connected ArcXIX is likely a person by the name of "Charles Hartley" of Columbus, Ohio:
I Googled "arcxix -palin -dailykos -kos" and started trying to find out who ArcXIX was. On only the second page of the less than 500 matches, I found:
http://74.125.95.104/search?q=cache:YYVpxHP0pjcJ:www.1up.com/do/blogEntry%3FbId%3D8180999%26publicUserId%3D5851594+arcxix+-palin+-dailykos+-kos&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=16&gl=us&client=firefox-a It has several identity pieces of information on it:
Name: Charles Hartley
alias: "AgentArc"
AIM Name: ArcXIX
Last Visit: Feb 24 2008
Sex: M
Age: 24
Location: Columbus, Ohio

Why the alias AgentArc makes the idea of choice of ArcXIX by the 1UP account owner too incriminating to be a just a coincidence:
Google "palin agentarc -hartley"
What this shows are several hits which reference pictures of Palin that are kept in a photobucket account of "AgentArc". Note that all these pictures are now removed by the owner. To me, this is highly convincing evidence that the owner of the 1UP account is the person who created the ArcXIX blog on Daily Kos. It is possible that the name, age and location are a falsehood perpetrated by the 1UP.com account owner, but I do not consider that likely.
Both the ArcXIX and the AgentArc are evident in a few different web sites, but the personalities represented by those accounts are completely consistent with each other.
Is this sufficient information for a reporter that covers the Franklin County election process to consider making inquiries about?
I guess that is up to you to decide.
Please let me know if you need more information from me.
