Sussex County Sheriff Jeff Christopher, who wasted untold taxpayer dollars trying to sue the state after the state refused to let him set up his own police force, and who embarrassed the citizenry with his sovereign citizen and sovereign sheriff nonsense (i.e. the highest constitutional officer in the land is God and then the Sheriff, and then the President and everyone else), just announced on the Dan Gaffney show downstate (is that still on the air?) that he is running a write-in reelection campaign.
You see, in the Republican Primary earlier this month, Republican Robert Lee defeated Sheriff Christopher by 21 votes, or 50.1% to 49.9%. Christopher demanded a recount and he got it, and the numbers did not change.
So now he will inflict his sore loser-dom and his teabagger insanity on his once more, with this write in campaign. The question now is whether he splits the GOP vote enough to allow Democrat Beau Gooch, the Lewes Police Chief, to win. He just might. That is just what Sussex County needs. An African American sheriff. I wonder if conservatives will suddenly reverse themselves on the need for a separate Sussex police force should that happen.
