A far-right sheriff in rural Michigan has sent a private investigator and a deputy sheriff on a tedious journey from township to township, grilling clerks about their election processes in an apparent attempt to dig up non-existent evidence of election crimes.
It’s the Republican in him driving his actions. Not the law. He’s abusing his office to help out all things Republican. That’s obvious but we should ask: what would he do to a 23 year old rapper with long hair and a BLM tattoo on his arm if such a guy comes under his authority? I think we know.
It would be a real shame if someone started filing freedom of information requests for financial information from the sheriff’s office. And then it would be even worse if they started asking for the demographic breakdown of people who are cited by that office.
