3 boxes left FDP over the line by 4.5 votes. Do you mean 4.5 actual votes? Or is this shorthand for something?

The Greens came reasonably close in Jena I (Thüringen has one of the lowest levels of Green support in Germany).

That's quite a striking generational sandwich of the AfD. I wonder at what point over 60 the otherwise present trend of increased tendency to vote for them reverses. There are quite marked patterns from past elections. The NPD even used to call themselves the party of grandparents and grandchildren, as the baby boomer generation would not vote for them at all (obviously this is some time ago).

Two boxes to go and the FDP are 12 votes over the quota.

There's no love between the SPD and Die Linke in the Zone and many people would regard the Greens as being the most left-wing major party in that state.

Penultimate box in and it wasn't a good one - the FDP are only four votes over quota (55,389 when they need a minimum of 55,385). Can they make it?

All over and the FDP have made it by five votes. Needed 55,417 and got 55,422.

All constituencies in Thüringen have now finished counting for this election-Weimar II and Erfurt II were the last to finish.

The differences between the CDU Wahlkreisstimme and CDU Landesstimme vote (12.9%) and the Die Linke Walhkreisstime and Die Linke Landesstimme vote (5.1%) were unusually high in Ilm-Kreis I, however, even by the standards of this Thuringian election.

this isn't unusual though. Unlike the UK the German youth is fairly rightwing I’m not sure they’re really right wing. Polling has shown the youth to have very little support for the SPD or CDU, with young people instead going Green and a plethora of other non-traditional parties overperforming. The AFD support among the youth looking decent is mainly because their support among the elderly is low. Their real support is among middle aged people (which you see for far right parties in many other European countries as well).

Final seat totals for the Thuringian election of 2019:
Die Linke: 29 (+1) AfD: 22 (+11) CDU: 21 (-13) SPD: 8 (-4) Green: 5 (-1) FDP: 5 (+5)
First election of significance in Germany this year where the Greens have lost seats instead of gaining them. Thüringen must be the only Land where neither the CDU nor the SDP are either the largest or second-largest party (discounting Bayern where the CSU stand instead of the CDU).

No, ReCounts don't take place automatically, unless IrRegularities can be proven by FDP (as AfD was able to find fraud in Bremen 2014). There will be some ReSearch until the Final Result though.
