Ohio Sheriff Faces Backlash Over Campaign Sign Post
News summary

Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski has faced backlash for a controversial social media post encouraging residents to document the addresses of homes displaying Kamala Harris campaign signs, suggesting that undocumented immigrants could be sent to live with those supporters if Harris wins the presidency. He referred to immigrants as 'illegal human locusts' and claimed the addresses would help accommodate migrants. The post, which has since been removed, drew criticism from both local Democrats and some Republicans, including Portage County Commissioner Tony Badalamenti, who labeled it as bullying and voter intimidation. Many residents expressed fear of being targeted for their political beliefs after Zuchowski's comments, prompting complaints lodged with the Ohio Secretary of State and calls for an investigation. Zuchowski defended his statement as free speech but acknowledged it may have been misinterpreted. The incident highlights the divisive political climate in the lead-up to the presidential election.
