Blackwell toured the state with Larry Pratt, author of ARMED PEOPLE VICTORIOUS, which advocates the creation of militant right-wing militias. Pratt has spoken and shared platforms in the past with Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazi Aryan Nation members.I'm reminded of the little-known alliance between Elijah Muhammed and George Lincoln Rockwell -- an alliance that played an under-recognised role in the rift between Malcom X and the Nation of Islam.

Nothing is beyond our Ken
Ken Blackwell, the man who fixed the Ohio vote in 2004, is no mere opportunist. The guy has a screw loose. Maybe two. Maybe all his screws fell down the drain and he now spends much of his time laughing maniacally about his disdain for screws.

Larry Pratt is not merely a right-wing militia type. For example, he is or was associated for many years with Pat Buchanan, going back at least to when they were both in the Moon-linked Council for Inter-American Security in the 80's.
There's a good piece on this from 1996 here and more on Pratt and CIS here.
Blackwell in turn was involved in the 2000 Steve Forbes campaign -- as were a bunch of people who'd previously worked on the 1996 Pat Buchanan campaign. Notable among them was long-time GOP propagandist Greg Mueller, who in the 80's had more than his share of connections with Moon-linked organizations (like Christian Voice and the World Freedom Foundation) and then became Buchanan's communications director in 1992.
I don't know by what route Blackwell came to hook up with Pratt, but that old Buchanan/Mueller nexus looks like the likeliest point of contact.
