A Democratic staffer was dismissed after video footage emerged pertaining to show him yanking a ballot drop box.
Laszlo Gendler, an employee of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC), was dismissed by the party after he was arrested amid accusations of ballot box tampering.
In the video [1], Gendler can be seen pulling the ballot box at the Glacier County Satellite Office in Browning on the Blackfeet Reservation, before stepping away, sending a text message, and taking a picture of it. He then pulls the box before leaving the scene.

Montana Secretary of State Christi Jacobsen, who was later shown footage of the incident, said, “Footage has emerged of a D.C. Democratic staffer tampering with a ballot drop box in Glacier County. This isn’t speculation – it is on camera…we are currently investigating this matter with the help of law enforcement and will continue to observe the actions of the Democratic Party of Montana under close watch.”
Gendler [4] was questioned by the Glacier County Sheriff’s Office, but released without charge.
Glacier County Attorney Terryl Matt said a review of the footage “determined that the issue is unsubstantiated”, adding that the “video does not constitute a legitimate attempt to tamper with the ballot box or the electoral process”.
He was since dismissed [5] by the DSCC from his role in assisting Sen. Jon Tester’s re-election campaign.
Social media users were less than impressed by the decision to release Gendler.
When are these people going to face REAL consequences?

Others expressed concern that this was not an isolated incident.
That’s just the stuff we see. No telling how much of this goes on off-camera.

There were also calls for such ballot boxes to be scrapped.
Ballot drop boxes need to be banned. Imagine if there was no camera here to catch him in the act.

This is what Democrats did in 2020. They tampered with drop boxes to steal the election.
It’s easy to fix. Get rid of the drop boxes.
