In recent days, the Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs Chamber of the Supreme Court left four other electoral protests by PiS without further course - pertaining to constituencies number 75 (Tychy), 12 (Grudziądz), 92 (Gniezno) and 100 (Koszalin).
The Supreme Court's decision means that the protests have not been checked factually and will not be examined any further - voting cards will not be examined and recounted.
In all submitted protests, PiS claimed that there many votes could have been incorrectly disqualified as invalid. The ruling party filed, among other things, for voting cards check and votes recount.
Already when rejecting previous protests by PiS, the Supreme Court pointed out that they lacked law violation suspicion. "A small difference in votes cast on each of the candidates, and in the most extreme cases - one vote difference, cannot in itself be a basis for formulating claims regarding potential irregularities in votes qualification," the Supreme Court underscored on a few occasions.
In total, 274 electoral protests have been filed in the Supreme Court. So far, 40 have been examined, most of which without further course.
