Foreign interference suspicions don’t undermine election's integrity, CEC chief Sohlberg says
The Central Elections Committee chairman also stressed that nothing in his statement was intended to cast aspersions on the voting of the Arab community
Assessment
The CEC chief is trying to have it both ways: raising the specter of foreign interference while insisting the election remains clean. His separate reassurance about the Arab community suggests he knows exactly which communities are being scrutinized. The real question is whether these suspicions will be investigated transparently or left as an unsubstantiated cloud over the results.
