Election Lawsuit?

 Well...the BSW Party missed getting seats in the Bundestag by .028 percent (in the 13k vote range).  

So there's talk of a legal battle  over the screw-ups in overseas ballots, and 'some' ballots weren't mailed out in time.

Odds of a legal situation?  I'd give it a 50-50 range.

The problem is....it' go to the Constitutional Court and you'd have to give them at least six to eight months before they gave a verdict.  Worst-case scenario?  They tell the gov't to re-do the election.  

In some ways, it's like the Berlin-City election of four years ago, and how they were ordered to repeat the election.

In this scenario?  Well....you would hear around December a court-verdict, and a new election would occur in March of 2026 (my humble guess).   SPD being happy over this matter?  Yeah, I think they'd appreciate a new run.  

On the crazy index (1-10)?  I'd give it a '8'.  Back in November....a couple  of journalists talked over this 'quick' election being rigged up and how overseas ballots would be a problem.
