Portage County Sheriff accused of voter intimidation
“Because of his position I think he needs to be really careful,” said Margaret Jenkins. “You don’t try to intimidate people with the signs”.Jonthan Diaz is the director for voting advocacy and partnerships, a non partisanWhen asked if the Sheriff’s first post was an example of voter intimidation, he sent us this statement:
19 News called and emailed the prosecutor’s office to see if any charges for voter intimidation would be filed. We were told no one was around to answer my questions. “The Attorney General’s office does not have the direct authority to make a change in an elected officer. If they are charged with a felony, then our office can seek suspension through the Ohio Supreme Court. Under Ohio law, only the elector or the Governor can seek removal of a sheriff or prosecutor and only for the reasons set out in the state law.” -Spokesperson
