The claim

都議選・八王子で開票に不正?

Original review summary

The review examines claims that vote-counting fraud caused San Party candidate Sayuri Yokura’s loss in Hachioji’s June 22, 2025 Tokyo assembly election. It finds that the cited exit-poll discrepancy, pauses in interim tallies, and 2,598 invalid ballots do not establish fraud; Hachioji’s invalid-ballot rate was 1.14%, jointly the lowest among the 62 municipalities.[S1]
