    Eh, when you’re literally performing the job of runnkng the election—giving people ballots and counting the results after—I think it’s pretty reasonable to have a requirement of maintaining an appearance of political neutrality.

      It depends on how you read it. It’s probably a Hatch act mirror or the Hatch Act itself. If so, it only applies when he is representing his employer or giving the appearance of using his position to influence. It all gets Grey and muddy real quick, especially in a position like that.

        I had to Google it, but it looks like the Hatch Act is American law? So unless there’s a similarly-named law here that does the same thing, I don’t think it’s relevant.
