Even if this was the final result, it would be a problematic one.

Any result that is not a Nawrocki win will be soon "problematic", the right already laid a lot of groundwork into convincing their voters that either they win - or election are stolen. They will pull the US trick.

I’m sick of this playbook. There should be serious consequences if you accuse of stealing an election once proven wrong

Slippery slope for actualy stolen elections imo

That’s the next part of the strategy. If you accuse your opponent of something, then when you do it you’re just playing according to the new “rules of the game” you just arbitrarily defined.

I mean ok, but not imposing penalties is very slippery too. Cf all the Trump stuff

If your opponent really is stealing elections they won't care too much about following the law either way.
