A CCTV caught an employee for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) & by implication the Democratic Party, tampering with a ballot box in Montana Glacier County on Sunday.
The video showed Laszlo Gendler walking up to a ballot box on the wall and attempting to rip it off. He then seemingly takes a photo of the ballot box with his phone’s camera before walking off. Watch below:
Montana is a top priority State that the Democratic Party needs to win to retain the majority seat in the upper house.
Glacier County election administrator Crystal Cole escalated the matter to the Montana Secretary of State’s electoral office. She revealed that Laszlo Gendler in his defense said “they sent him to the location to see how secure the box was.”
However, poll observers can only inspect and not touch election materials or ballot boxes.
The DSCC responded by firing him. According to spokesman David Bergstein who spoke with Fox News, Gendler was “trying to ensure a (the) new ballot box was secured to the wall”. He added that Gendler though acting out of caution, went against the laid down rules and will be removed from the line of duty henceforth.
Investigations from the Federal Election Commission filings showed that Gendler was on a monthly salary and was paid $1,824.60 on September 13. In total, he received $42,909.20 in salary and travel expenses from September 15, 2023, to August 30, 2024.
The Republican Party on the side of Maggie Abboud, the spokeswoman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said that their candidate, Tim Sheehy, was well ahead of Democrat Jon Tester in the polls, and they know it and are trying to cheat in the election.
