Article:

The sheriff of an Ohio county recently asked his followers on Facebook to keep track of people in their neighborhoods who are openly supporting Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign.

Local news station WKYC reported that Portage County Sheriff Bruce D. Zuchowski told his followers to "write down" the addresses of people who put Harris-Walz signs in their front lawns so that he could drop off any undocumented immigrants at their residences.

"When people ask me... What's gonna happen if the Flip - Flopping, Laughing Hyena Wins??" Zuchowski, who took office in 2021, wrote on Facebook. "I say... write down all the addresses of the people who had her signs in their yards! Sooo... when the Illegal human 'Locust' (which she supports!) Need places to live...We'll already have the addresses of their New families...who supported their arrival!"

WKYC reached out to Zuchowski to ask him questions about his Facebook post but he had not responded as of Monday morning.

Although Donald Trump won Portage County in 2020, recent election data suggests that there are tens of thousands of likely Harris voters living there.

According to the county's official tally, Trump received 45,990 votes in the county, while President Joe Biden received 35,661 votes there.

These people and public officials are pretty petty.

Sheriff’s are the most corrupt arm of law enforcement. This guy should be vacated from office.

He literally just outed himself for discrimination regarding voting and free speech. Dude needs to be fired yesterday.

Seems like a clear-cut case of voter intimidation for the FBI.
