The author claimed that thousands of mail-in ballots had been unlawfully opened in Lower Saxony. He pointed out that Boris Pistorius had been the Minister of the Interior there for ten years and wrote that a state secretary who had been dismissed due to misconduct had later been able to become the Minister of the Interior. Furthermore, he began to refer to a woman as a getaway driver, but did not finish the thought in the article. https://t.co/HFPczErCQi #Niedersachsen #Wahlrecht #Politik #DE (translated)

Ansgar Schledde explained that in the local elections in the Hannover region, more than 3,000 outer ballot envelopes were opened prematurely in 14 out of 20 surrounding municipalities. He regarded this as a systematic violation of §59 of the Lower Saxony Municipal Election Code. The envelopes should have remained unopened and sealed; instead, ballots with the names and addresses of the voters became visible and were repackaged. The votes were then counted without verification, Schledde wrote. The procedure was ordered by the regional election office via email and was only stopped by the state election director four days before the election. Interior Minister Daniela Behrens (SPD) commented cautiously on the incident; supposedly, no impact on the election result was to be expected, criticized Schledde. He supported the objection of Bundestag member Dirk Brandes and announced a complete clarification as well as a legal examination. For the state elections in 2027, postal voting documents must be designed to prevent manipulation, and the rules must be adhered to. Those who violate the election regulations must face consequences, Schledde wrote. https://t.co/uzZye3DAPi #Wahlen #Demokratie #Niedersachsen (translated)

In Meck-Pomm fehlen jetzt um 23:13 Uhr nur noch 5 Wahlbezirke (davon 4 Briefwahl). Die CDU liegt bei 4,88 %, das BSW bei 4,83 %.

„Die Briefwahl in Deutschland ist sicher. Sie kann nicht manipuliert werden.“ Und genau wegen einer manipulierten Briefwahl, muss heute die Bürgermeisterwahl in Strausberg wiederholt werden. Die Wahl wurde annulliert, weil der parteilose Kandidat Patrick Hübner in seinem Geschäft Zugriff auf das städtische Postfach mit den Wahlbriefen hatte. Bei der Briefwahl kam er auf 30 Prozent, an der Urne dagegen nur auf 19,8 Prozent. Gleichzeitig wurden rund 30 Prozent der beantragten Wahlbriefe nicht zurückgesandt.
