Romania election results thrown out after Russian interference claims.

Romania’s constitutional court threw out the results of the election’s first round and delayed the second round. The sitting government says there was a vast influence effort by a foreign actor to boost the candidacy of a candidate dubbed as pro-Russian, anti-NATO and anti-semitic. Nick Schifrin reports.

Today, a member of NATO in the European Union took a step nearly unheard of. That's throwing out the results of an election. That's what happened in Romania, a country that's been vital to Ukraine's efforts against Russia and also hosts U.S. troops.

Romania's Constitution annulled the results because of what the sitting government calls a vast influence effort by a foreign actor to boost the candidacy of a candidate dubbed pro-Russian.

As Nick Schifrin reports, the effort was largely run on TikTok.

This is why we need to work with our technology partners to make sure that this kind of propaganda isn’t being used against our own democracy.

Romania is a Ukraine supporter and a member of NATO

So Hillary is advising the Romanian government now.

Edit: The government should never be “partners” with tech companies. Far more bad than good will come that Orwellian arrangement.

It darned sure didn’t work this time in the US.

Everybody knows that both Putin and Xi were working to get Kamala elected.

The American Electorate ignored them.
