Justice Department will monitor Portage County elections for intimidation

Citing concerns about intimidation, the U.S. Justice Department will send staff to Portage County to monitor for violations of voting rights laws, the agency said Tuesday.

The announcement follows messages from Sheriff Bruce Zuchowski to supporters on his Facebook pages encouraging them to “write down all the addresses of the people who had [Kamala Harris] signs in their yards!”
