The Independent citizens have forced a recount of the municipal election in Sauerlach. A sample had shown that the thin CSU could tip projection.

pissed off The local salmon– choice of 15. March is not in Sauerlach still a long way from the table. In the large meeting room of the city hall three representatives of management are currently and the district office, and any ballot papers for the Council re-count. Around 4300 in about.

it had Requested the Independent citizens ' Association (UBV) on the basis of Doubt as to the only wafer-thin majority in the CSU. Only six more votes, they are the strongest group in the body. "We had 14 days of time, the result of challenge and have decided at the end of this," says Klaus Zimmermann, President of the UBV, on request. On the verge of the election he heard that there would be problems with the Scanner pins at the count.

Six votes of the CSU to make the strongest group

Decisive for the contestation of the head to the end but-to-head race of the two strongest parties, the CSU has been: namely, with the last 27 469 votes and the UVV with 27463. A tiny little advantage in view of the 80501 valid votes, of seven, the group of voters brought to the Christian social but only six municipal Council seats. "It is, after all, a seat in the municipal Council, as the expense is justified, in our view, already," said Zimmermann.

In the result, had the district office on 3. Of June of a total of twelve voting of the municipality of stitch point districts moderately re-tallied. "The very next day we received the information that a Neuzählung could bring a 'may be voting relevant result'", said the Chairman further. On the decision of the district office so now the complete Neuzählung.

Previously, the UBV has prompted a recount of the so-called "quorum-treated ballot papers". So the piece of paper, which had not been entirely in conformity with the rules completed. 55 in number. Had expanded at the end but only the projection of the CSU, by three votes on election night and now has six.

Two potential substitutions

for sure not be mixed by the Neuzählung all the cards. But some personal details would be quite possible – as well as cast changes in the committees. "The effects are currently difficult to assess," says Zimmermann. The CSU will lose a mandate in favour of the UBV, could, as a first alternate Robert Maier, former business head of the municipality, to the Board of Directors. "Or, depending on the assignment of individual votes, even Claus Koch, the former sports officer", thought carpenter.

These are at the present time, but speculation. You must wait for the official result. He is counting on that until the beginning of next week.

What was the pins with the Scanner?

CSU-Ortsvorsitzende Markus Hoffmann, the current Procedure is quite mixed feelings. The real reason for the Neuzählung he couldn't actually see. "Of course, everyone has the right to an election contest, if he believes, to have a occasion," says Hoffmann. He did not know the pins of the Doubts of the UBV on the functionality of the Scanner, but these were also already in 2014, some in use. "I can't estimate what is going to happen due to recount everything now," says Hoffmann.

Lose the CSU, but a seat in the Council, should probably go, Andrea Killer. She was last Nachrückerin for Hubert Zellner, who had to give up his seat due to legal reasons, because of his duties as head of planning. "That would be, for many reasons, sad", so Hoffmann. Not least because of the average Age and the percentage of women in the municipal Council, regrets the Chairman.
