What the Berlin Constitutional Court (for the state government of Berlin) said today? The election from September 2021.....for city-state candidates....is TOTALLY invalid.
Yeah, shocker.
Things were fairly screwed up and the court simply said a new election must be held.
Date? Must be within 90 days....my humble guess it'll be early the first week of Feb 2023.
Why the mess? Well....there weren't enough ballot papers around the city for the election. On top of that.....it was held on a Sunday when a major marathon was held.....which created a lot of pedestrian traffic. On top of that, some of the polling stations closed completely....forcing people to into a plan B situation.
An embarrassment? Yeah.....if you bring this up to locals....they mostly laugh and suggest it seems 'American-run'.
Personally, I can't recall a mess like this.....where they threw out the results entirely (14 months later).
Change in the way the coalition is run? Well.....you don't know after this election is done.
