The sheriff’s department in Portage County, Ohio has been stripped of its election security duties after its MAGA sheriff said people displaying Kamala Harris signs in their yards should have their addresses recorded so illegal immigrants can be sent to their homes.
Portage County Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski, a Donald Trump-supporting Republican seeking re-election, likened migrants to “human locusts” and called Harris a “Flip-Flopping, Laughing Hyena” on his personal and campaign Facebook accounts earlier this month.

The Ohio Secretary of State’s Office determined last week that Zuchowksi’s post didn’t break state election laws, but local citizens expressed their discomfort with having an immigrant-hating MAGA sheriff in charge of protecting the vote.
Over 100 people attended an emergency meeting called by the local NAACP chapter, the *Ravenna Record-Courier *reported. Frank Hairson, the communications chair of the NAACP chapter said people told him: “They’re afraid to vote. They’re afraid to put signs in their yard.”

Anyone know portage county’s policy on recall votes? Maybe they can help his term end early.
Two issues - it’s likely too late to recall him, the time it would take to get through the legal processes would be longer than voting him out in November. Secondly the secretary of state has already abdicated his responsibility in the matter.

On one, his term of office could be ten years for all I know. Is he up for reelection this November?
On two, I do remember seeing that now that you mention it. But wouldn’t a recall petition force the SoS to take action?
Edit: He is up for reelection currently
