Austria: Social Democrats red-faced as wrong winner declared
Deutsche Welle ^

Austria's center-left Social Democrats (SPÖ) on Monday publicly announced that they had named the wrong person chairman in a party vote over the weekend.

The party's electoral commissioner, Michaela Grubesa, explained that an error had occurred when votes from the Saturday party conference were inaccurately transferred to a spreadsheet.

Hans Peter Doskozil, governor of Burgenland province, had erroneously been declared winner when the vote had in fact been carried by Andreas Babler, mayor of Traiskirchen outside Vienna.

Babler garnered 317 votes to Doskozil's 280.

A recount was conducted Monday, said Grubesa, after a discrepancy was found between the number of votes tallied and the number of votes cast.

It’s just a typing error. Whiteout can correct the problem.

I wish the Demorats would admit it was a typing error when they nominated Joe Biden.

They did the same thing in the US Presidential election in 2020. Clearly they announced the wrong winner.

Let me guess - there was a plumbing leak and supporters of Andreas Babler pulled out a bunch of ballots from under tables (after supporters of his opponent were sent home) and WHAT DO YOU KNOW!!!

I wonder if the same thing happened back in '38, when they voted (99.7%) for the Anschluß?
