Again, they didn't say "shred the ballots", correct? (therefore poetic license. Just a nit, no big deal to me.) Ok, I see that in there now...
I assumed that by using the metaphor "puppet" ..... the definition should suffice to covey the meaning: one whose acts are controlled by an outside force or influence.
I didn't consider you to be a puppet of The Company -- I was referring to a particular organization.
SAPA, perhaps, is that organization? If I'm a SAPA rep, am I now an official puppet?
OK, I might sound like I'm getting a little personal, but I take great offense with your insinuation that I had taken license with the truth. Let's stick to the facts, shall we?.
... the facts are great.
