has there been an election result which has been desputed and recounted to verify the validity of the result .

Question

if yes where die it ever happen and when. ( this is Presidencial Elections)

Answer 1

Winchester constituency 1997: the incumbent Conservative, Gerry Malone, lost by two votes to the Liberal Democrats. Malone filed a High Court petition arguing that some votes had wrongly been disqualified. Having won his case the election had to be re-run, and Malone lost by over 12,000 votes.

The answer referring to the Birmingham case this year is so inaccurate. The counters actually placed a bundle of 1000 Labour votes in the BNP box by mistake, and the Returning Officer realised her mistake within minutes. The only reason it became an issue was because under election law they had to file a petition to the High Court to get the result properly declared.

Answer 2

Every year in one country or another election results are disputed,normally its because the loser cant handle the fact that nobody really wanted them in power in the first place.Sometimes however elections have been rigged resulting in recounts,new elections and even bloody takeovers have been known to happen..

Answer 3

as previous answer, but I thought it was the election before the last hope someone can confirm that. In England at a local council election this year the labour party tried to hide a thousand votes that gave victory to the middle of the road BNP party.

Answer 4

Answer 5

1884 - Cleveland/Blaine

Answer 6
