Local Man Accidentally Votes for Mayor’s Cat After Confusing 'ballot drop off near me' With Catnip Drive-Through. BEVERLY HILLS, CA — In a stunning display of election season chaos, local resident and self-proclaimed “common sense guy” Dave Mankowski admitted today he accidentally submitted a ballot for Mayor Whiskers after a confusing search for a “ballot drop off near me.” “I saw a tent, heard purring, and thought, ‘Finally, a politician who listens,’” Mankowski commented on the Facebook group, adding that while he’s now cat-owner to a new elected official, at least the litter box is cleaner than city hall.
