A woman working at a polling place in Poland got into a verbal confrontation with other poll workers about alleged irregularities with the voting. She demanded that the polling place be closed. When the others refused, she grabbed all the ballots and locked herself in the rest room.
Witnesses, quoted by the Polish news agency PAP, said the woman had argued with her colleagues over alleged irregularities and had demanded that the polling station at Lysowice in southwest Poland be closed.
After the verbal fireworks, she telephoned the local police, grabbed a pile of unused ballots and locked herself in a toilet cubicle.
Officers who later arrived at the scene were able to convince her to end her protest and return the ballot papers.
Local police spokesman Slawomir Masojc said the woman was detained.
It sounds like she was stalling for time. Can we say that the winner was flush with victory?
