Strickland, who promised more internet stings, has lost in a landslide. Hardwick will be the presumptive replacement for Sheriff Shoar.

Sheriff Darryl Daniels who influenced Clay Co commissioners to have the registration office go from no fees to fees every time a registrant walks through their doors:

I think the best way for me to be heard as a Democrat is to write in Defund the Police. Looks like another giant douche vs. terd sandwich situation to me!

In reply to Media. The fact that an incumbent has five challengers speaks for itself. But I like how he gave his opponents a gift of extra material.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the unqualified, last minute, write-in candidate was hired by the other candidates for that very reason. Pretty sure that if that write-in guy somehow won, he’d probably either refuse to serve or resign shortly after inauguration while whoever won the primary would be appointed to fill the seat.

It’s a form of corruption.
Corruption bad. The end.

Clay County is having its own issues with the sheriff’s race. Last November when the Clay County Commissioners decided to pass what they referred to as a “sex offender ordinance”, when nothing had happened to cause a need for such an ordinance, Sheriff Daniels said the ordinance would help his department out. In addition, he asked for and received fees that will be charged to registrants for anything and everything that causes them to have to pass through the doors of the registration office. In the ordinance that was passed, Daniels gets to determine what the money collected, over and beyond the few groups that would benefit from the money, is used for — no regulations placed on him. Before this ordinance was passed, there were no fees.

This is the latest with Sheriff Daniels:

Elections have been rigged for decades, this isn’t surprising.

The non-entrapper is far better represented by yard signs in my area. Not that that’s any reason to rest on our laurels.

I have contacted three St. John’s County voters— one registered Republican, one registered independent, and one registered Democrat who recently switched from Republican. The last of these initially protested, “I’m not switching back!”, but once I explained how closed primaries work in our area, promised to reconsider.

I also pointed out to them that sheriffs who are zealous about entrapment stings, often take a similar approach to the already punished (citing the example of Sheriff Judd in Polk).

Many thanks to the member who submitted this. I had no idea!
