From Hildburg Bruns
And again there is a series of vote-counting glitches! Franziska Giffey (44) remains with the SPD in second place behind the home high winner, the CDU. But the lead of the Social Democrats over the Greens with top candidate Bettina Jarasch (54) shrinks from 105 to just 53 votes.
Exactly 15 days after the repeat election, the official final result will be announced on Monday at 10 a.m. With a number of corrections, as the BZ learned in advance:
►Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg: EReading and typing errors were discovered, about 34 phantom selectors too many. In constituency 6 (Traveplatz), the Green candidate initially received 568 votes too few and the FDP 89 too many. In the entire district, the FDP was given 400 votes too many.
►Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf: Here the candidate of the LKR (Schmidt, constituency 3) had moved. Instead, the 15 votes go to Torsten Fuchs, who was officially named as the successor.
►Tempelhof-Schoeneberg: The district electoral office submitted 116 voters too many. In Marzahn-Hellersdorf had to be revised down by 104 to 110,887 voters.
►Reinickendorf: There were calculation errors with the invalid first votes (only 1149) and correctly 105,818 valid first votes.
►Center: A typo due to the immense time pressure made for one vote too many for the left.
And what follows from Giffey’s narrow lead over Jarasch?
Nothing formal. This paltry 53 votes difference would still secure Giffey’s claim to leadership in a possible sequel to Red-Green-Red.
Even if the incumbent government team meets again on Monday for a sounding out, it doesn’t look like that will happen at the moment. Rather after the fact that there is a black and red Senate – with the newly governing Kai Wegner (50, CDU).
