Ohio Sheriff’s Alarming Targeting of Homes with Harris Yard Signs Raises Concerns
In a troubling move, Ohio Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski has made headlines for his request to residents to note the addresses of homes displaying yard signs supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. This late-night Facebook post, which followed sensationalized reports of a “migrant crime wave,” has raised serious legal and ethical questions.
Zuchowski suggested that if Harris wins in November, he might support bussing migrants to these homes. His post quickly drew attention, with some residents responding by sharing names and addresses of Harris supporters. The chilling nature of this request has led to significant backlash, even from within the Republican Party. Tony Badalamenti, a county commissioner, resigned from the Republican Central Committee, stating, “This is not the leadership I want to be part of.”
Residents expressed fear for their safety, particularly those with elderly family members who are politically active. One concerned citizen shared, “I am afraid for them now,” highlighting the anxiety this situation has caused.
The ACLU’s deputy policy director in Ohio condemned Zuchowski’s actions as “flat out illegal,” emphasizing that intimidating voters violates federal law. As the community grapples with the implications of this request, it serves as a reminder for residents on how to prepare for an interview, particularly in politically charged environments, as the upcoming election may see heightened tensions and scrutiny of local law enforcement’s role.
