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 Geoana lost the vote to incumbent Basescu at a difference of some 70,000 ballots.

The Constitutional Court has yet to rule whether to validate the election or order a rerun, as social democrats demanded.
