Behavior
CENI said while looking at the votes that it saw that someone messed with them in the El Mina department of Nouakchott. Some votes were moved from the null and neutral cards to one of the candidates. They said that they fixed it. Judicial procedures had happened after a candidate said that they did not like the results.[1]
