Bodnar comments on the Supreme Court's decision regarding the presidential election. He talks about “indictment”
On Tuesday evening, the entire Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs of the Supreme Court found the validity of the election of Karol Nawrocki as the President of the Republic of Poland made on June 1 this year. The content of the resolution and the justification of the decision was read by the president of Wiak.
“The Supreme Court indicates that applications raised in electoral protests could not be taken into account for recalculating votes in all peripheral election committees in Poland. The provisions of the Electoral Code do not provide for such a possibility” – pointed out the president of Wiak.
He added that “it is possible to inspect electoral cards, but only in relation to specific precinct electoral commissions, if it has been demonstrated that when counting votes or preparing a voting protocol, there was irregularities.” “Making such a decision only on the basis of reported probability of irregularities or statistical analysis, does not find any justification and would be contrary to the law” – pointed out the president of Wiak.
“The fact is that the voice of every voter is equally important and every effort should be made to be assigned to the candidate for whom he was actually devoted,” admitted the president of the Chamber of Extraordinary Control. He stipulated, however, that this principle should be seen in accordance with the regulation that the president became the president who obtained more votes in the second round.
