The Constitution outlines steps for how to choose the next president in the event of an electoral tie.

A central Ohio sheriff's office is facing criticism after an officer said he would not help Democrats in a Facebook post.

John Rodgers, a lieutenant with the Clark County Sheriff's Office, posted on Facebook that he wanted proof of who someone was voting for before helping them and that he would not help Democrats, according to reporting from the Springfield News-Sun.

Rodgers has since deleted his Facebook account.

This newspaper's statehouse bureau requested Rodgers' personnel file and comment from the sheriff's office but did not receive a response prior to publication.

Rodgers told the Springfield News-Sun that he takes medication to help him sleep that causes him to make "out of character phone calls, texts and statements.

Springfield is the seat of Clark County. The city was thrust into the national spotlight in September when former president Donald Trump and vice presidential candidate JD Vance claimed without evidence that Haitian immigrants in the city were eating pets.

Rodgers' posts sparked another outcry on social media and multiple people have called for him to be fired.
