ARREST ME!’: NYC Candidate Curtis Sliwa Tried Bringing His Cat to a Polling Site and Somehow That Wasn’t the Craziest Part of It

Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate for mayor of New York, tried casting his vote on the Upper West Side on Tuesday while accompanied by his cat Gizmo.

Then it got weird.

The New York Times reported that Sliwa was “irate,” and loudly bickered with poll workers. After being asked to remove his jacket that had his name on it, which is apparently considered unlawful campaigning at the polling site, the candidate shouted, “Arrest me!

After catsing his vote, he placed his ballot in the machine and it promptly jammed. It needed to be repaired. Also, “An election worker hurled an expletive at Mr. Sliwa while asking him to leave,” said the Times.

While I really like the idea of bringing your cat to a voting place, I don’t think it’s practical. It’s not like it’s a Bodega cat…..

It’s NYC.  You'd be surprised by what sorts of pets get brought to what sorts of places.

And are you familiar with Sliwa's wife? Curtis married her a few years back, and ever since, she's roped him into her animal rights schemes.

This is why guys don't date vegans.

And friends don't let friends date vegans either.

I saw a lady carrying a small dog at the polls this morning.
I was outside, don't know whether they let her in or not...
