After Portage County sheriff's post, worried voters ask to meet with Ohio's election chief [View all]
Voting rights groups in northeast Ohios 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.
Zuchowskis 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), Trumps running mate on the Republican ticket, shared false and racist rumors about the legal Haitian population in Springfield.
