I was once a naive but sincere supporter of what I thought the AKP was trying to do in Turkey. Now I see a tragedy unfolding.
1. Why did the Higher Electoral Council decide to issue illegal orders to count unstamped votes & envelopes in the official total?
2. Why did the Higher Electoral Council cut off its live stream of the vote to opposition political parties as the vote moved towards No?
4. Why did the Higher Electoral Council order that unstamped votes and unstamped ballots be retroactively stamped?
6. Why did media coverage of the election appear to include the results of ballot boxes before they had even been counted?
8. Is there any substance to claims that the three people shot dead in a Diyarbakır polling station were trying to prevent electoral fraud?
