As a resident of Ohio, it is both disheartening and alarming to see an elected official, in this case, Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski of Portage County, abuse his position to incite fear and intimidation among voters. The recent incident where he encouraged the public to write down the addresses of Harris supporters is a clear violation of the trust and responsibility that comes with holding public office.
The notion put forth by Sheriff Zuchowski that individuals with liberal policies must accept responsibility for their actions is not only misguided but dangerous. In a democratic society, every citizen has the right to express their political beliefs and support the candidate of their choice without fear of retribution or harassment.… Continue reading

It’s clear that the aim here is not to win the election fair and square, but rather to ensure that the results are disputed, leading to escalating chaos and potentially justifying a coup.… Continue reading

As an individual observing the turmoil in the United States surrounding the upcoming elections, I am deeply troubled by the recent news that Republicans are threatening a government shutdown unless Congress makes it harder to vote.
