Will the re-run of the election be only the 2 candidates in the second round, or will they have to re-run both rounds from the beginning? If the latter, will it be the same candidates or with re-nominations?

That's disappointing, I was hoping for the whole thing. When is the new president due to be sworn in?

If the latter, will it be the same candidates or with re-nominations? No new candidates are allowed. So, if e.g. v.d.Bellen dies away - FPÖ-InternetForums made his weak health (strongly smoking) an issue -, the ReRunOff must happen with him as candidate; the top of such a burlesque would be, that those many frightened of an FPÖ-president would deliver a dead v.d.Bellen another majority (leading to an entirely new election with two rounds et cet.). |

2 good news for the FPÖ:
- The present polls indicate a NeckToNeck-race once again.
- Also, most people have told pollsters to find the election repeated the right decision.

The money has moved towards Hofer in the last 48 hours.

Oh no!
A prominent leftwing lawyer is planning to go to the EuropeanCourt for HumanRights about the repetition of the election.
This could end as a total burlesque.

I can't find anything in English-language media about this. Dr. Zanger intends to argue, that making his vote invalid was a violation. Eventually he will bring in the case of those, who have died since. It's reported at www.oe24.at (SPÖ-near daily). |

I miss Haider. An Austrian fascist should always resemble an exceedingly camp bond villain.
