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 recent mailer sent out to Texans by the Trump campaign has sparked outrage and accusations of voter intimidation. The message, “We will notify President Trump if you don’t vote.

The content of these letters is chilling and reeks of intimidation tactics. Threatening to report individuals to President Trump if they don’t vote is not only coercive but also illegal.
