The letters obtained by the Akron Beacon Journal, part of the USA TODAY Network, show people’s concern over the tone of the Facebook post by Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski

At least 59 Ohio residents have complained to the state’s attorney general over posts made by an Ohio sheriff suggesting that people should keep track of homeowners who have signs supporting Democrat Kamala Harris for president.

Bruce Zuchowski, the sheriff for Portage County just southeast of Cleveland, posted the suggestion to his social media account on Sept. 13, when he talked about Harris’ campaign and border policies.

Some people said they were angry, accusing Zuchowski of voter intimidation and racism. Others, including people who live in Portage County, said the sheriff’s post made them afraid.

    You don’t need to identify as a Nazi to be a Nazi just like I don’t need to be a pilot to know a plane crash or to be a psychologist to know you’re a fucking moron.
