Landtagswahl Sachsen-Anhalt: FDP-Kandidatin: Wahl per Brief genauso sicher wie vor Ort
AfD-Politiker fordern ein Ende der Briefwahl. FDP-Spitzenkandidatin Hüskens hält dagegen und spricht von einer „guten Möglichkeit“ für viele Wähler.
Magdeburg reports that the senior FDP candidate for the Landtag election, Lydia Hüskens, is promoting the convenience and safety of voting by mail, countering allegations from AfD politicians about its security. Hüskens stated that voting by mail is extremely convenient and a great option for those unable to vote on election day.
She confirmed that she cast her vote through the mail on Tuesday at the local voting station. Hüskens also assured that counting of mail-in ballots can be monitored as closely as traditional voting booths on election day. She dismissed the notion of automatically assuming that certain individuals, such as caregivers, are involved in election manipulation.
The backdrop to this discussion is AfD Co-Chair Tino Chrupalla's claim last weekend that he has heard stories from caregivers and relatives about manipulation during mail-in voting in nursing homes. The AfD is clear that mail-in voting should be abolished.
