Study Calls for Germany Election Recount, But No Action Taken Yet
A recent study by professors Eckhard Jesse and Uwe Wagschal has highlighted unusual aspects in Germany's election counting process, suggesting a nationwide recount. Despite this, no such recount has been requested, and the matter remains under review by the Bundestag's electoral committee.
The study, which was not widely publicised in news broadcasts or daily newspapers, was published in a long guest article in the 'FAZ'. It lists peculiarities in the counting process, recommending a nationwide recount. Notably, the Federal Constitutional Court has not dismissed the possibility of a nationwide recount, merely referring to the two-stage procedure.
The Bundnis für Soziale Gerechtigkeit (BSW), which narrowly failed to clear the five-percent hurdle in the federal election, has not requested a recount. The Bundestag's electoral review committee, established at the end of June, is currently considering the BSW's appeal. As of 2023, there are no known studies or demands from professors calling for a nationwide recount in any specific country due to irregularities in the election counting process.
While a study has identified potential issues in Germany's election counting process, no nationwide recount has been requested or approved. The matter is currently under review by the Bundestag's electoral committee, and no final decision has been made.
