"Election fraud" can encompass a wide range of things; it isn't a term I consider common in Sweden, but unfortunately, it is gaining ground and could become an unpleasant reality now and in the future.
In Sweden, when you vote for a political party, you can mark a specific candidate you want to see enter Parliament. I never mark a candidate when I vote, but some people do.
In a small town in northern Sweden, a far-left individual has secured a seat in Parliament thanks to preferential votes. This person has been a party member for less than a year, is virtually unknown to the party, and is a complete political novice.
It’s perfectly fine if the people want him—a young guy with roots in Somalia—but the fact is that things apparently weren't done properly.
It appears that he distributed ballot papers with his name already marked, and some witnesses claim that he also handed out cash in connection with this.
This is, of course, not permitted, and the police are currently looking into the matter.
However, it has also come to light that he has significant debts and has been living with a friend who is deeply involved in serious crime and criminal gangs.
It is also said that he recently had travelled to Somalia, spend some time there, met with government official and talked about the election in Sweden. Fishy?
During the search of their apartment last year, small amounts of cocaine were found, as well as paraphernalia used for drug dealing. It is once again abundantly clear that the far-left has no control over who is in the party.
This was yesterday.
Today they have found another Somali man, who has managed to get elected via preferential votes for the far-left party. This man has a documented criminal record; the police acknowledge this.
The police had reportedly been monitoring these individuals, having observed them withdrawing cash, driving people from vulnerable areas to polling stations, and distributing pre-marked ballots.
Before the election, this far-left party had major problems with antisemitism and elected representatives who praised terrorists. They had expelled 33 members and thought things couldn't get any worse—but it turned out it could.
But it is not just in this city that there have been problems. In a city in southern Sweden, 126 votes were overlooked and are now invalid. The number is likely too small to affect the parliamentary election, but given the city's small size, it could influence the local election. Regardless, it is a scandal.
As a colleague of mine at work said: what a banana republic Sweden is!
Please pray for Sweden and for what is to come, and we shall see what happens in the days ahead.
