Protests Erupt in Georgia Over Contested Election Results

TL;DR Summary
A Georgian court annulled election results from 30 polling stations due to violations of voter confidentiality, where ballot choices were visible from the back. The ruling Georgian Dream party, which claimed victory, faces allegations of election misconduct, including intimidation and vote-buying. Opposition parties are boycotting the new parliament, demanding fair elections. The EU and US have called for investigations into these claims, while Georgia's EU accession process is suspended amid concerns over democratic principles and alleged pro-Kremlin stances by the ruling party.
