Here's a farce: *80%* of the votes of the Portuguese diaspora in Europe in the last legislative election have eventually been declared invalid. publico.pt/2022/02/10/pol…
By default, Portuguese nationals had to vote by mail. The law requires the photocopy of their ID to be sent alongside their vote. This information didn't get through because many did not.
At first, PS and PSD had agreed that all the ballots would be counted. The PSD changed its mind, and all the votes in the voting stations where ballots with and without ID had been mixed were declared invalid.
But this reclamation was only accepted for voting stations in Europe, where 80% of the votes were discarded, and not for other continents.
It turns out that the PS was ahead, and is still after the "recount".
