Social Democrats Declare Wrong Winner After Vote Counting Error, Forced to Recount and Admit Mistake

Austria's main center-left opposition party, the Social Democrats, reversed the result of its weekend leadership election due to a computer error.
Hans Peter Doskozil was celebrated as the new leader of Austria's Social Democrats at a party conference after a ballot of delegates.
Two days later, it emerged that his opponent, Andreas Babler, had actually won due to a technical error in the Excel list.
The correct count was 280 votes for Doskozil and 317 votes for Babler.
Babler requested another recount and apologized to members for the mix-up, calling it a "low point" for the opposition party.
