A story from the AP says, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner says in a statement Monday that the site has been partially disabled to protect state records and data. A spokesman says he is unaware of any personal records being accessed, and could not say what was breached or for how long the site would be disabled.

The state highway patrol is investigating the breaches.

A wealth of election-related information is stored on the Web site. Missing from it Monday night were detailed records of campaign finance information, results from previous elections and a database of Ohio voters.

The statement says officials are also investigating other security threats, including a suspicious package covered with threatening messages and containing an unidentified powder that was mailed to Brunner's office last week.

The statement says the office has also been inundated with death threats in e-mails and telephone calls.

Brunner's office has been embroiled in controversy over Ohio voter registration rules.
