Narungga Seat: Liberals Demand Answers on Unopened Ballots

0:00It's April 16. I'm Cory with the story. This is Sydney News Today, driven by AI. One nation's chantel Thomas just got declared the winner in the South Australian seat of Naranga, beating liberal Taniya's stock by a razor-thin. Margin of 58 votes after a recount on April 2. Now there's a twist. The Electoral Commission found 77 unopened absent ballot papers and four declaration votes from the neighboring steward, district that weren't counted before. Liberals are calling for answers, with their leader Ashton Hurn, saying the Commission owes everyone clarity on what this means for the seat. Stocker self hadn't even heard officially, and question why votes were handled without screwed near's watching. This comes after the tight race on York Peninsula, where one nation snagged four seats total to the Liberals 5, amid earlier gripes about, election day glitches like understaffing and role-access issues. A fresh count drops Friday to lock in the result and keep things straight, so we'll see of those extra votes, flip the script, or hold the line.
