A self-described "transsexual Satanist anarchist" has won the Republican
nomination for the sheriff’s job in Cheshire County, N.H. -- a victory she says
proves “the system is utterly and hopelessly broken.”
Aria DiMezzo, who ran with the campaign slogan “F***
the Police” and says she had expected to lose to a write-in
candidate, won the nomination for Cheshire County sheriff on Tuesday. The
victory was first reported by Inside Sources.
In a Friday blog post, DiMezzo said she opposes a system that allowed
thousands of people to walk into a voting booth and vote “despite knowing
absolutely nothing about the person they were nominating to the most powerful
law enforcement position in the county.”
"I’m running for sheriff because I oppose that very system, and the sheriff
has the most hands-on ability in Cheshire County to oppose that system,” she
said. “The system that let you down by allowing me -- the freaking transsexual
Satanist anarchist -- be your sheriff candidate is the same system I’m
attacking. I’m sorry, and I know it hurts to hear, but that system is a
lie."
“The entire thing is a lie. It’s broken from beginning to end, and my
existence as your sheriff candidate is merely how this reality was thrown into
your face,” she said.
Inside Sources reports that she will now campaign against popular incumbent
Democrat Eli Rivera, who is seeking a fifth term.
Marilyn Huston, the chair of the Cheshire County GOP, congratulated DiMezzo
for the victory and told Inside Sources she “did very well with the primary and
that was wonderful.” However, Huston said DiMezzo never showed up to GOP
meetings and events, despite being invited.
According to the outlet, DiMezzo comes from a group of libertarian
activists that has produced candidates before. DiMezzo hosts an internet radio
show where she is referred to as a “She-Male.”
DiMezzo said in her blog post that her victory in the primary was an
argument for anarchism because of how “clueless the average voter is.” She
garnered 4,211 votes, easily beating a traditional candidate who received only a
few hundred votes, election results show.
"Sweet Satan, how can you not be an anarchist?!" she wrote. "Between 75 and
80 percent of the primary voters -- the ones alleged to be more politically
aware than the average voter -- were completely and totally ignorant of who they
were voting for! What is the percentage with the average voter? 90 percent? 95
percent? These people are deciding who gets to rule you,” she said, before
calling on Cheshire County to secede from both New Hampshire and the
U.S.
