Braçe has published on social media several photos of ballots, which were considered invalid by the recount.

One of the most voted deputies of the Socialist Party, Erion Braçe, calls the fact that those votes have been declared invalid a disgrace and claims that an attempt is being made to steal them.

"THE SHAME OF THE COUNT!
THESE ARE THE VOTES OF THE SP AND MINE - LOOK;
THEY ARE DECLARING THEM INSUFFICIENT!
All evaluated during the COUNTING BY THE CEC based on a CEC MANUAL that is now nowhere to be found!
I DO NOT OWN ANYONE THIS KIND OF FILTH, ACCOMPANIED WITH THE NOTE "MUCH VOTES" AND THE IMPLICATION "STOPPED"!
THESE ARE CLEAN VOTES THAT ARE BEING INSUFFICIENTLY BEING INSUFFICIENT! I NEITHER TAKED THEM FROM WHOM NOR STOLEN THEM FROM WHOM
! THESE ARE VOTES WHERE THE WILL
OF THE VOTER HAS BEEN CLEARLY EXPRESSED!
I don't know what their plan is, WHOM THEY ARE ASKING TO TAKE THESE VOTES AWAY, SO WHOM THEY WILL TAKE THEIR MANDATE FROM; BUT
I'M SO FUCKING HARD THAT THIS IS A SHAME", writes Braçe.

In fact, if we look at the photos that Braçe has published, it is concluded that none of those ballots are regular.

The CEC rules clearly state that for a vote to be considered valid, a “+” or “x” sign must be placed inside the box next to the party name and in the box next to the candidate's name.

On many of the ballots, which Braçe claims are being unfairly declared invalid, the "x" or "+" sign is not in the corresponding box, as the CEC has provided.

On another sheet, neither an "x" nor a "+" is marked, but a "?" even outside the box, so this is also invalid.
