Former chief of staff to the mayor, Sami Graham, and two other election observers used an internal policy quietly added that day by the city IT director in a challenge to the 2023 election. Assembly leaders, in a July 5 letter to the mayor, called on the administration for answers.
Assembly leaders called for the administration to explain where the IT department policy originated.
“It’s a matter of public interest. We had what appears to be individuals who worked with the municipality coordinating with individuals who have kind of made sport of making complaints about elections,” Assembly Chair Christopher Constant said by phone on Monday. “There’s real concern about the abuse of our elections and the sowing of discord and mistrust in our elections. And so I think we have a duty to explore what official actions were taken by members of the administration.
Dahl at the time said he decided to add the policy to the department’s intranet page because the city had a “longstanding practice of prohibiting the use of thumb drives without being scanned by IT first.” Dahl at the time did not answer multiple questions, including about how the observers obtained the policy language or about his relationship with them.
