Lieutenant in the Clark County Sheriff’s office makes postings saying that [he will not help](https://www.whio.com/news/local/i-will-not-help-you-sheriffs-office-lieutenant-says-he-wont-help-harris-voters-social-posts/VF7WPICKJVB67JNYIQLG4SPS4Y/?ICID=ref_fark) you if he finds out you voted for Ms Harris, and you may need to _prove_ that you voted correctly to get his help. Clark county? Hmm. There are a metric shit-ton of counties Clark in the US. Which one might this be? Oh. It seems to be the one with Springfield in it. ---

He’s blaming drugs: > Rodgers also wrote that he had been prescribed sleep aids by his doctor to help with a sleeping disorder. > “It does cause some of my communication to be ‘out of character’ which is a documented side effect,” Rodgers wrote. I guess it’s OK to have a police officer on mood altering drugs, carrying a gun and given great authority. Nothing can go wrong there. ---

I work for county government. We are having to make a lot of security upgrades because of these assholes. We have to cover numerous county buildings. Schools and everywhere people can vote. Cameras, and Cops. We have police stationed full time in some buildings. This is costing a shit ton of money. This years budget just for upgrading is 800k. There are only 30k people that live in the county. ---
