Elections Committee chief rejects PM’s request to meet on alleged voter fraud
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleCentral Elections Committee chief Justice Hanan Melcer rejects the prime minister’s request for an emergency meeting before Tuesday’s vote to discuss the threat of supposed election fraud.
In his decision Melcer cites the tight schedule in the final days before the vote, as well as the fact that “the committee is not an investigative body and does not have concrete authority to instruct police.”
He adds that the premier and other lawmakers are free to write in with any concerns.
