It's becoming clear the central race in the expected robust election for Sheriff this year may not be who's the best cop....or jail overcrowding...or even the tone and tenor of the current department.
The SAFE Act may well animate the race with a partisan divide in play as any Democrat running is forced to adopt Governor Cuomo's position as he heads the party ticket, while Republicans may well run against the law and try to motivate at new group of voters not normally motivated by a single issue.
Of course running against the law creates another problem for the GOP....It essentially puts their candidate in a position of open civil disobedience against a duly enacted law they are sworn to uphold.
