According to a police report obtained by Big League Politics, Keego Harbor, Mich. resident Peter Trzos is receiving felony charges for allegedly exposing an individual to a harmful substance after he was told to lick his absentee ballot at a precinct on election day.
Trzos made a remark about COVID-19 exposure after being compelled to lick the ballot, expressing in jest that licking the ballot might be an exposure risk. This resulted in a poll worker reporting him to authorities which has resulted in bioterrorism charges.
The complaint was filed by Tammy Neeb, the City Clerk and the Acting City Manager of Keego Harbor. Trzos has been an activist in the city for years, lobbying for term limits and other common-sense reforms, and this may be political retaliation for his civic activity.
