Romania’s Constitutional Court Friday ordered a recount of the nearly 140,000 null votes in the election following the Social Democratic Party’s claim that the poll was tainted by fraud, after their candidate Mircea Geoana lost the vote to President Traian Basescu at a difference of some 70,000 ballots.

The recount of all voided ballots in Romania’s presidential election held last Sunday found 2,247 valid ballots, of which 1,260 for Basescu and 987 for social democrat Geoana, Romania’s Central Electoral Bureau said Monday.
