Seizes Ballot Boxes in Court Order Dispute
New York January 5 Attorney General William Schuyler Jackson said he could not locate all ballot boxes under a Supreme Court order and warned of possible contempt proceedings against New York’s board of elections. Agents raided storage sites across Greater New York and found many boxes newly sealed and guarded. Dooling refused to surrender the boxes or reveal their locations, prompting legal action to enforce Hendricks Court orders. The goal is to preserve ballots cast in the Hearst McClellan mayoral race for possible recount or quo warranto proceedings, with the attorney general insisting the boxes remain secure. Continuous searches extended into the night as locations in Manhattan proved elusive.
