Sheriff asks Ohioans to write down addresses of Kamala Harris supporters

"An Ohio sheriff instructed residents to keep a list of homes displaying campaign signs in support of the Democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris, and her running mate, Tim Walz, in remarks on social media that caused alarm.

Bruce D Zuchowski, the Republican sheriff of Portage county, posted the remarks on Friday to his personal and professional Facebook pages, warning that undocumented immigrants would arrive if Harris were elected over his party’s nominee, Donald Trump...

The Portage county commissioner, Tony Badalamenti, publicly denounced the post and resigned from the county’s Republican central committee in a video posted to Facebook, the Portager reported.

“This is not the leadership I want to be part of,” Badalamenti said.

Others condemned Zuchowski’s comments as an act of voter intimidation, especially given the sheriff’s high-ranking position in law enforcement..."
