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.

      Guy, fellow Canadian here. When the Confederacy fell apart they all ran away to us. And we fucking took them, ffs. Jefferson Davis lived out his treacherous life in Toronto. There are redneck, Confederate flag waving racists throughout the Canadian borders. I’ve even seen pro Trump flags up here in Canada. We’ve been infected by these fucks for a long time

        Can confirm. I’ve seen Trump and even fucking Confederate flags on people’s houses. Always in the shittiest parts of town too. Imagine supporting a bunch of traitor losers from a country you’re not even from, who you share no heritage with.
