Few outside Sheriff Calvin Hayden's office appear to know what he and his department are investigating.
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.

Anyone can claim anything. However, most states have laws against filing a false police report.
Makes one think, huh?

..."In a letter to Hayden, Johnson County’s chief legal counsel, Peg Trent, said she was concerned he was trying to meddle in an election.
“As we discussed, my concern is that these requests give the appearance that the Sheriff’s office is attempting to interfere with an election and to direct a duly authorized election official as to how an election will be conducted,” Trent wrote.
Hayden later disputed Trent’s characterizations, but he declined to provide specifics."...
