      A revote is unfeasible but extended voting should be done to account for those who may have been frustrated with delays.

      The conspiracy nuts are having a field day, and the lack of voting paper is a major fuck up. So doing the votes again does have merits.

      If they want, PPP has the option to file a lawsuit with the court asking for a revote. 

      But otherwise, the election commission (NEC) won’t announce a revote mid-count on election night. PPP already knows this. The NEC is an extremely risk-averse organization, and they will avoid taking any drastic measures.

      Grasping at straws.

      They’re as useless as 진보당 at this point.

      I think categorically speaking, they are a radicalist party now, not mainstream.

      PPP is following MAGA doctrine. And likely are funded by them.

      You don’t want to go there. MAGA are whining unpatriotic losers.

      I might get hella downvoted for saying this but in this case I don’t think it’s a matter of who wins or loses, it’s just unacceptable that a nation level election has procedural flaws.
      Elections are designed very carefully so that voters don’t get swayed. That’s why the voter polls are released after the voting is finished. Doesn’t matter who you support or whether the outcomes would have changed if the voting procedures were properly maintained. It’s a matter of democratic values being tainted, and voter rights being taken away.
      I get that some people want to bash the PPP in every given chance, and sure, they deserve it. But let’s not gloss over the fact that this is a HUGE MISHAP that taints democracy in its core.

      A complete re-do is unfeasible, but extended voting would make more sense. Either way, I don’t think this stops the PPP from getting demolished nationwide. They’ve successfully captured the 18-35 male voter base, but a legacy of fuck ups has finally caught up to them.

      It seems as though, from the article, that voting hours were extended and people who showed up when there were no ballots were given opportunities to wait and vote when ballots arrived. No one was denied the right to vote, it was just delayed.
      Does someone deserve to be punished for it? Absolutely, it is an unacceptable fuck up from election staff. I think a revote in those areas with ballot shortages would be an acceptable situation. I do not however think there was some giant conspiracy and anyone who is claiming as such is just trying to milk any little thing as someone out to get them.
