Johnson County's top election official says he was forced to resign from office

Local elections in Johnson County will soon come under new leadership.

Johnson County Elections Commissioner Fred Sherman resigned his post this week, according to Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab. Sherman posted online suggesting he was forced out of the role.

He restated this position in a conversation with The Star Friday, indicating that he was told he would be removed if he didn’t resign.

Sherman declined to further discuss his exit with The Star.

possible voter intimidation surrounding him, I think. But I don't believe it went anywhere, even after years of investigation. I'd really like to keep up with this, even tho I no longer live in JoCo. If you see anything, I'd appreciate the posting here, just in case I miss it (and I could easily do that). Thanks for posting this, Randy!
