WOW!

The Austria Presidential Election has been ruled invalid due to Voter Fraud.

Austria presidential poll result overturned--BBC News


Austria's highest court has annulled the result of the presidential election narrowly lost by the candidate of the far-right Freedom Party.
The party had challenged the result, saying that postal votes had been illegally and improperly handled.
The Freedom Party candidate, Norbert Hofer, lost the election to the former leader of the Greens, Alexander Van der Bellen, by just 30,863 votes or less than one percentage point.
The election will now be re-run.
Announcing the decision, Gerhard Holzinger, head of the Constitutional Court, said: "The challenge brought by Freedom Party leader Heinz-Christian Strache against the 22 May election... has been upheld."


This ruling was days before the new President (pro-Immigration) was to be sworn in. The main issue in the election was Immigration. The Fraud was opening ballots by those not authorized and a possible discarding of Ballots.
Austria is an EU Country and already talking about withdrawing from the EU. A fraudulent Presidental Election does not help.

He won at the polls and then lost due to the mail in ballots. It seems a bit fishy to me.

What do you want to bet that he will win once the new election occurs and the mail in ballots are heavily scrutinized.

This is great news!

Brexit has given a boost to right-wing parties across the Western world, there is a good chance the right- wing takes victory this time around in Austria.

They use to have ballot box stuffing but now it's made easier with 'absentee' mail in voters.

Austria among all western European nations has the worst track record when flirting with its right wing.

Austrians were the Third Reich's worst murderers...making up 50% of Nazi war criminals despite making up only a tiny fraction of the Reich's citizenry.

Given their past, they'd better think this through a bit better.

Yes because the right wing automatically turns into Nazi's the same way the left wing always becomes bloodthirsty Communists.

With the age of the internet, people are learning what liberty really looks like, when they don't just think about everyone elses business.

Well it's certainly interesting. We know in our country Leftists often cheat and have dead people vote and have thousands more votes for a candidate than there are registered voters in their controlled areas. So maybe the Austrian Leftists (like their Nationalist Socialists predecessors) are similar...wouldn't surprise me.
