Republican gubernatorial candidate seizes ballots

What would the Repugs say if a Dem seized the votes? They would be screaming loudly at the horror of it and demanding immediate jail. The Reds don't want charges when they are upset. Just toss them in prison. If a red does it, just business as usual.
Taking ballots is not normal.

RQAA. The Dems DID seize the votes. The committed election fraud, Sybil.

And I do.

Colors aren't people, Sybil.

No one said it was, Sybil.
 
A Sheriff has authority here
This is called "constitutional sheriff" ideology. The alt right used to try to control states, but now the most they can hope for is a counties, so have decided that is the highest authority of the land. The actual Constitution does not mention sheriffs, and the majority of the counties in the USA did not have a sheriff at the time of the Framing of the Constitution.

The only case law that puts sheriffs above the law is pre-Constitutional. The Constitution put all government under the law. Sheriff comes from the old English shire(county) reeve(representative of the King). They were in theory above the law, the same way the King was above the law.

Not formal authority, that lies with the State Election officials
In our system, but if we were a medieval totalitarian state, he would be well within his rights.
