We share a letter from one of our dear readers:
"Dear Colleagues!
Having made contact with Hungarians at home and at the border, as well as overseas, the thinkers recommend the following to the relevant authorities:
If among the more than 24,000 invalid votes, the situation arose that the votes cast for Szentkirályira were declared irregular, then the enumerators must have made a mistake.
Because it is not known who heard about Szentkirályi's withdrawal statement on Friday morning, in favor of Vitézy, following which these votes must be validated for the LMP candidate, against Karácsonny.
This will change the final result in the morning, because it will be fair. Common sense dictates that VOTERS CANNOT BE PUNISHED if the number of candidates has changed through no fault of their own, something they were not informed about, for any external reason!
Ergo, the votes cast for Szentkirályir should be validated in favor of Vitézy, as he publicly informed the public on Friday morning in whose favor he had withdrawn!
Therefore, no one should be removed from the list of voters for reasons beyond their control.
Please, not a few, based on these reasons, cancel the recount and, judged on the basis of the above, conclude it, to the satisfaction of the public!
Thank you on behalf of many:
