Thank you for tuning in and supporting the show—your voice and your vote matter.
In this eye-opening episode, Alexi dives deep into the rise of constitutional sheriffs—law enforcement officials who claim ultimate authority over their counties, often sidestepping state and federal laws. This growing movement isn’t just a local issue; it’s a national threat to election integrity and voter rights. With some sheriffs now compiling “enemies lists” of political opponents and taking actions that edge dangerously close to election interference, the stakes are higher than ever. As we near the upcoming election, understanding these power dynamics is critical. Join Alexi as she unpacks what this means for our democracy, why it matters now, and how we can stay vigilant and protect our right to vote without intimidation.
Key Takeaways:
• Constitutional sheriffs are gaining influence across the country, often with a self-defined interpretation of the Constitution.
• Local law enforcement, under this movement, is encouraged to challenge federal laws and even intimidate voters.
• Election interference and voter intimidation are real risks this election season.
• Now, more than ever, it’s crucial to know your voting rights and be aware of local law enforcement dynamics.
