A botched vote in France’s newly elected parliament on Friday triggered allegations of ballot-stuffing, with politicians from the left and right pointing to possible fraud.
After two and a half hours of voting for the post of the National Assembly’s deputy speakers, the ballot boxes were found to contain 10 envelopes more than the number of eligible voters.
Re-elected speaker Yael Braun-Pivet from President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist Renaïssance party duly declared a re-run, prompting deputies to demand an investigation.

Quell terrible!
So pull the alarm....
Dang Dominion machines!........oh, wait...............
Here if you protest an election and claim fraud the dems will lock you up.
Ten? Try ten thousand!
Pretty sure we had at least that number here in 2020.
As if there is ever 100% voter turnout. We knew they never allow Le Pen to take power. Now SHE is under investigation. Yep welcome to the party
Bienvenue aux États-Unis!
Ten is nothing compared to the thousands here in the US.
Here they would investigate and have inquiries and proceedings, reach no conclusions, blame no one and eventually accept the results anyway.

Hmmmm…back when I said (though not on FR) that election processes in many Western nations were being tampered with, I was called a conspiracy theorist by some people.
Well, these people stopped calling me that not long ago…
I don’t see why the National Assembly would even use ballots. When we vote in the House of Representatives, there is just a roll call.
Ballot stuffers ... the Democrats have taught them well.
Leftists are the same everywhere. The double standard, lying, and cheating are their three legs of existence.
Damn Frenchies. Can’t they have an honest election like we do?
