Neighborhood polls - Law enforcement's intervention during the tallying process in Sömmerda's district
In the course of the local elections' vote-counting in Sömmendorf, a police operation unfolded. On Sunday night in Sprötau, a 42-year-old man with a history of dealing with law enforcement allegedly tried to sway the opinion of voting officials. He was asked to depart, but his stubbornness forced officials to call the cops. The officers gave him the boot and filed a report for trespassing. It's uncertain what methods the man attempted to use in influencing the officials, as a police spokesman couldn't offer any clarity. MDR had previously reported on this situation.
