  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeatedly warned on Tuesday of what he claimed was unusually high voter turnout in Arab communities, accusing Arab voters and left-wing parties of trying to “steal the election.”

    In a series of social media posts, Netanyahu shared photos of Arab citizens casting their ballots alongside images of supposedly empty polling stations in cities considered Likud strongholds.

    “Steal” the election by going out to vote while your voters stay home. He explained in text with supporting imagery how this wasn’t fake votes for his opponents or discarded votes from his supporters, but calls it stealing nevertheless.

    Also, I don’t know what Israel’s voting situation is like, but crowded polling places in minority areas and empty (i.e., fast and convenient) polling places in majority areas sounds like the intended results of voter suppression efforts.
