Calvin Hayden's office says it's still conducting a months-long investigation into 2020 and 2021 election results in Johnson County, despite a lack of evidence. “I’m really making them mad and I don’t care,” he said of other county officials.
Johnson County Sheriff Calvin Hayden says he does not want private citizens to do anything illegal in service to his ongoing investigation into recent election results in the county.

Hayden made that clarification recently after a video emerged of him speaking last month with a group of supporters at his office in which he tells a woman who asked if she could take pictures of things she deems suspicious as she works at the polls to be “slippery” about it.

Such an action could run afoul of a state law that makes it a felony to intentionally disclose ballot information.
