The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office has said that since last fall it has received more than 200 tips from people claiming they were victims of or witnesses to fraudulent activity in local elections.

Yet the office has produced only one offense report related to any alleged violations of Kansas election laws since 2020.

“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 Johnson County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement on July 19.

So far, the Johnson County District Attorney has received no cases from the sheriff.

“This office has not been involved in this investigation and nothing has been submitted to our office for review,” said Melody Webb, a spokeswoman for Johnson County District Attorney Steve Howe.

The same goes for the Kansas Secretary of State’s Office, the agency responsible for overseeing elections in the state. It said this week that it had received no inquiries from the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office.

Neither have four of the largest police departments in Kansas — Olathe, Overland Park, Lenexa and Shawnee. All said they had received no reports about election-related crimes in the last two years.

These fuckers lie about everything and nothing will stop them.

1. And I bet the one report they got was from a breathless MAGA voter stamping his/her feet

and screaming into the phone, "DO SOMETHING RIGHT NOW ABOUT THIS RAMPANT FRAUD BY THE LIBS!"

2. When did it become ok to lie so publicly and blatantly

[Turbineguy]

3. When you're rooting for MAGA

you should always lie.

4. Ya know anyone apparently can make claims of election fraud.

since last fall it has received more than 200 tips from people claiming they were victims of or witnesses to fraudulent activity in local elections.


Did these victims and witnesses have to identify themselves?

Will they face any consequences for lying and having the Enforcers to investigate?

And why is an Enforcer office being called to investigate?

It is not their place to investigate election fraud that is the election admins that are responsible for investigations.
