Dan Hamburg was a California congressman in the early 1990s. This week Hamburg and his wife have been part of a group watching the latest developments in the Ohio recount.
Columbus police arrested Hamburg and his wife, Carrie, Wednesday for trespassing after refusing to leave a private downtown building that houses the secretary's office. Hamburg was an elected democrat, then a green and then a libertarian candidate in California.
The political activist and a small group with him said they wanted Blackwell to answer questions about voting problems from the November election.
Blackwell's office says it was private tenants in the building who asked security to call the officers.
Hamburg did not have an appointment with Blackwell and refused to leave a restaurant.
