Was There Corruption in the Berlin-City Election?

 Well....RBB (public TV from Berlin) brings up this funny issue from September election....affecting one single voting station (a school building in the Spandau district).

What they say in a re-count now finished....the AfD did NOT win in a massive way in the district.

Originally, the results of this one site said that 21.6 percent of voters voted AfD (the far-right party).  From the recount, that 'win' was reduced to 7.9 percent.

The Linke Party (far left) rose from 1.9 percent of the vote....to 7.9 percent.

The problem here?  From that very first night's count....folks knew something was screwed up.  Only 464 had entered the building and voting.....so when they looked at the other parties (SPD, CDU, Greens, etc).....there were way more votes than people entering into the facility.  For whatever reason....they decided not to do the count that night, and waited two weeks minimum to accomplish the recount.

People disturbed by this count business?  Yeah, I'd say a fair number are asking stupid questions.  The problem is that various issues are noted at other sites, and some of these are simply looking like poor training and first-time poll-workers.
