A news release from the sheriff’s office defended Hayden’s use of staff time to check into unspecified claims about the election, saying the office is merely investigating the numerous tips that have come into the office since 2021 concerning election procedures.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel
SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL No! The Republican Sheriff just has no Comprehension on How Bad Donald Trump Disgraced the Republican Party here in Johnson County. He Can't Accept It or He is Just Now Revealing Just How Much of a Fascist He Really Is. Same, Same.

There is a deranged minority who thinks the election was stolen. I am willing to bet some of those deranged folks were the ones giving "tips" of fraud.

This comment nailed it and sums it all up...they have a sworn duty...period. “It is the sheriff’s office’s statutory obligation to investigate any criminal claim that comes to our office and submit our findings to the District Attorney’s Office,” the release said. “To not follow through with an investigation would be a dereliction of duty.”
