After Portage County sheriff's post, worried voters ask to meet with Ohio's election chief

[RandySF]

Voting rights groups in northeast Ohio’s Portage County have asked Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose to meet with them following a Facebook post by the county sheriff, also a Republican.

Bruce Zuchowski made national news with a public post that has since been removed, urging his supporters to note addresses with signs supporting Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris.

Zuchowski’s post read in part: “Sooo...when the Illegal human "Locust" (which she supports!) Need places to live...We'll already have the addresses of the their New families...who supported their arrival!”

The post went up as former president Trump and US Sen. JD Vance (R-OH), Trump’s running mate on the Republican ticket, shared false and racist rumors about the legal Haitian population in Springfield.

1. My oldest sister lives in portage county. I asked her about this sheriff.

She was surprised that sheriff would come out with that kind of stuff, and during an election year (for him). She was more amazed that I’d heard about all the way on the west coast. I have nieces and nephews back there too. I know my nephew was a big Trump supporter and I’d guess he still is. Just less vocal about it nowadays. I think the people who were in lock step with TSF are having a real hard time listening to Trump as he deteriorates but sadly I think most of them would still vote for him.
