Naples, checks at polling stations by the Carabinieri: 2 reported

Naples, checks at polling stations by the Carabinieri: 2 reported and cell phone confiscated.

A photo of the ballot paper, without turning off the flash and the electronic click that imitates the shutter.

Easy game for the Carabinieri on duty at the polling station who immediately asked a 71-year-old from Casavatore for explanations.

The man denied taking any photos and when asked to hand over his phone he even had the foresight to hand over another one he had in his pocket.

The military didn't fall for it and insisted.

Voters have had various misadventures. In Naples, a 66-year-old was stuck in an elevator for over 30 minutes. He was on his way to the polling station in a school in the city center and only the intervention of the maintenance company and a carabiniere allowed him to exit the elevator and enter the one where he cast his vote.

In a school in Casoria, instead, the carabinieri provided assistance to a man who fell to the ground while he was in the voting booth. The 67-year-old initially refused assistance but after a few moments he called 118. He is now in hospital, in Frattamaggiore. His conditions are not serious.

In Caivano, a 66-year-old local man argued with other voters over the voting section assigned to him.

The Carabinieri on duty at the polling station asked him to lower his voice and that's when things got worse. The man threatened to kill everyone present and then tried to hit the soldiers with an umbrella. Then he refused to give his personal details, grabbed the soldiers and ran away.
The carabinieri reached him at home and arrested him for resisting arrest and being a public official.
