Austria tries again to elect a president

This time, you won’t get a do-over, sorry. And I liked the first result in Austria, I didn’t need a do-over.

The US probably has us beat, or at least had in 2000.

The Austrian constitution plans for repeating an election when something goes wrong, and I think the American constitution does not allow for that. Just starting over is a little easier for both parties to agree on than recounting possibly spoiled ballots or having the results “decided” by courts.

First results coming up…
