The PSOE has asked the Provincial Electoral Board of Madrid to review the 30,302 invalid votes in the general elections on July 23, since the difference in the results with the PP is “so small” that it is necessary to be “as guaranteed as possible “.
The provisional data, after concluding the scrutiny of the CERA vote, give a result of 41.09 percent of the vote for the PP (1,463,112 votes) and 28.21 percent for the PSOE (1,004,567 votes), granting 16 seats to the first and 10 to the second. Thus, the PSOE is 1,323 votes away from obtaining its 11th deputy, the PP losing its 16th seat.
“The difference between the PP and PSOE is so small that we believe that we must be as guaranteed as possible and that no vote can be left out for not making a little more effort,” socialist sources have told Europa Press in relation to the request for invalid vote review.
The request is made through a letter signed by the socialists Cristina Pavón López and Sara Bonmati García in which they ask to continue the general scrutiny in a public act, with the participation of the representatives of all the candidacies that consider attending and allowing to examine the invalid ballots and votes in each and every one of the sections, which correspond to all the minutes of the sections/tables of the Community of Madrid.
In addition, the PSOE demands that in this public act, the opening of all invalid votes that appear in envelope numbers one be carried out, so that those that meet the necessary requirements are validated by that Provincial Electoral Board and those that meet the necessary requirements can be challenged. that the candidacies deem appropriate, where appropriate, for the purposes of possible appeals against general scrutiny.
