Originally Published 1 year ago — by BBC.com

Romania's constitutional court has annulled the recent presidential election, ordering a rerun due to allegations of Russian interference. This decision follows the declassification of intelligence documents suggesting a state-sponsored online influence campaign and cyber-attacks linked to Russia, aimed at supporting fringe politician Calin Georgescu. While Georgescu denies Russian involvement, his policies align with Moscow's interests, raising concerns among Romanians about potential shifts away from European alliances. The situation remains tense, with the election rerun expected in the spring.

Originally Published 1 year ago — by POLITICO

Georgia is experiencing high voter turnout, potentially surpassing 2020 levels, with over 700,000 ballots cast by midday. Meanwhile, Russian-linked email addresses have been associated with non-credible bomb threats at polling sites in multiple states, including Georgia. A federal judge in Georgia dismissed a Republican attempt to discard absentee ballots from Democratic-leaning counties, citing a lack of evidence and potential harm to election integrity. The election process is reportedly running smoothly despite these challenges.
