Austria’s Constitutional court has today ordered May’s presidential
election be annulled and another called after “particularly serious
cases” of voting fraud were detected in the photo-finish vote.
The Green party-backed candidate Alexander Van der Bellen originally snatched victory
by a mere 0.6 per cent in the second round vote, which was taken to
decide the new president of central-European state Austria in May. He
had made it to the round alongside Freedom Party (FPO) candidate Norbert
Hofer, who campaigned to protect Austria from mass migration and
Islamification.
Now the Austrian Constitutional court has upheld a complaint by the
FPO about conduct in the election. The party had alleged that there were
voting “irregularities” in 94 of the 117 total electoral constituencies
in the country, reports Kronen Zeitung.
It is not known how many of the 94 areas alleged to have voting
irregularities have been investigated, but the court identified “20
particularly serious cases” after interviewing 67 witnesses
