Election Fraud Allegations in Romania Spark Investigation

Allegations of Election Fraud Surface in Romania Buzău County, Romania – Serious allegations of election fraud have emerged in Romania, with data from the Permanent Electoral Authority (AEP) website suggesting irregularities in several voting districts. The news outlet Realitatea Plus highlighted instances where a significant portion of voters were registered on supplementary lists, raising concerns about potential manipulation. "In the locality of Grebănu, 36 voters were on supplementary lists out of a total of 235," reported Realitatea Plus. Similar discrepancies were found in other areas, such as Pădina and Pogonele. The Romanian intelligence service (STS) has responded to these allegations, stating that they have rejected accusations of illegal voting, citing the introduction of fictitious IDs or invalid data as impossible. However, the AEP data warrants further investigation into the reported discrepancies. While the STS has dismissed the claims, the data presented by Realitatea Plus raises important questions about the integrity of the election process and calls for transparency and accountability.
