Surveillance footage obtained by Fox News appears to show a man, later identified by the Montana Secretary of State’s Office as Laszlo Gendler, pulling on a drop box located in Glacier County, Montana, on Sunday. Gendler has known ties to the Democrat Party.

The election administrator for Glacier County, Crystal R. Cole, sent an email to the secretary’s office saying that Gendler looked “like he was tampering with the box,” according to a copy of the email obtained by The Federalist.

“Yesterday, on October 20th, at 10:25:05, Las[z]lo with the MT Dem Party was on camera tampering with the Box,” Cole’s email stated. “I did call him to ask him what his reasoning was, he stated ‘they’ sent him to the location to see how secure the box was. The MT Dem Party did not notify the Elections office in any way to state they would be sending someone to the Ballot Box to check how secure it was, so on camera it looks like he was tam[p]ering with the box.”

Richie Melby, communications director for the secretary’s office, told The Federalist that Cole alerted them to the issue and the state managed to confirm Gendler’s identity.

“Our Elections Director was pleased that the individual was not able to remove the ballot box from the wall, although the activity was obviously highly suspicious and concerning,” Melby said in a statement to The Federalist, adding that Gendler’s “name and details were turned over to Glacier County law enforcement.”

Democratic Senatorial Campaign

No one should be shocked that Pennsylvania’s Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) system went down for about 90 minutes Thursday morning. The computer system on which most voting activities in the state hinge is a mess, and the state has known this for years.

Speaking on “The Dom Giordano Show” on Philadelphia’s WPHT talk radio, Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt described the SURE system as a voter registration database that county boards of elections interface with “all day long.”

When voters register, request a ballot, are sent a ballot, or vote, every move is marked in the Sure System. More than 9 million Pennsylvania residents, every person registered to vote, have data in the SURE System.

“We had an outage for about 90 minutes that prevented many counties from connecting to it earlier this morning, but has been back up for a while now,” Schmidt said. “It was like 9:45 to 11:15 this morning. Voters who applied to vote by mail, whether it’s in person or whatever else, could still do so. It didn’t prevent any of that.”

The SURE System has had problems for a long time.

As I reported for The Epoch Times, in December 2019, Pennsylvania’s then-Auditor General Eugene DePasquale (who is now running for attorney general) wrote a scathing, 192-page report that found “internal control weaknesses in the SURE System related to input and maintenance of voter records. The audit revealed examples of potential inaccuracies, which the report said should be sent to

The Pravda press has asked former President Donald Trump over and over again whether he’ll accept the results of the election if his Democrat opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, wins. Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen. JD Vance, has heard the question ad nauseam as well. 

CBS News political correspondent Caitlin Huey-Burns peppered the former president with the question in late August, as the Democratic National Committee was installing Harris as the party’s nominee following President Joe Biden’s forced exit from his reelection campaign. 

“Will you accept the results of this election?” the reporter asked. 

“Absolutely. I assume it’s going to be a fair election. If it’s going to be a fair and free election the answer is absolutely I will,” Trump said.

Burns pressed with this ridiculous question. “What does fair mean to you?”

“It means the votes are counted. It means that votes are fair,” Trump said. “It means they don’t cheat on the election, they don’t drop ballots, install new rules and regulations that they don’t have the power to do.”

In other words, if leftist activists and Trump-hating elections officials don’t rig this election like they did the last one.  

“They don’t use 51 intelligence agents to give phony reports, which had an affect on the election. They don’t do many of the things that they did in the last election,” he added, referring to the former intelligence officials who signed a letter insisting the Hunter Biden laptop story reported by the New York Post days
