Lower Saxony: State Court confirms valid state election 2022!
The Lower Saxony State Court has decided: The state elections 2022 in Lower Saxony is not repeated! This turn came on Monday, when the court in Bückeburg decided on the election examination complaint of two FDP members, which suspected that the AfD had violated internal rules when setting up its list of candidates. The allegations included that AfD places were sold, which were brought up by former members such as Marco Genthe and Alexander Grafe, who had lost the election in 2022, how NDR reported.
The judges found that although there was a “black cash register” at the AfD, the allegations made about the list of the list and possible purchases of list positions could not be proven. Rumors about payments to today's AfD state chairman Ansgar Schledde remained without substantial evidence, although it is known that payments were made to a private account. These were not clearly linked to the awarding of the list, the court clarified. A serious violation of the voting rights could not be proven, as The taz reported.
