The hilarious primaries of the PD in Rome. Letta celebrates… the next defeat
The primaries in Rome were hilarious and show how numbers are opinions and that, as Uncle Giuseppe Baffone said, the important thing is not counting the votes, but those who count the votes.
Let's go in order: Letta proclaims the victory because just under 48 thousand members voted, of which just under 3000 from the comfort of their homes, online, and, curiously, with completely different results from those in the polling stations:
The overall data, on the other hand, would be the following, as reported by Youtrend who takes up .. RAI data. who will have published a press release from the PD:
Primary in #Roma , definitive results (source: @RaiNews ) #Gualtieri 28,561 votes, 60.6% #Caudo 7,388 votes, 15.7% #Ciani 3,372 votes, 7.2% #Battaglia 2,987 votes, 6.3% # Fassina 2.625 votes, 5.6% #Zevi 1.663 votes, 3.5% #Grancio 497 votes, 1.1%

As Dagospia points out, it seems that this miracle of multiplication of loaves and fish took place yesterday at the PD: in 2016 “ then the voters were 47,317, then further reduced to 44,501 after a recount of the blank ballots. And last night in the space of half an hour in Rome we went from 37,000 voters to 40,000, up to the final 45,000. " A miracle that allowed Letta to call to the rescue, because there has not been a decrease compared to the previous round.
This is true, in fact Youtrend tells us:
The turnout to the #primaries of the center left for the choice of the mayoral candidate in #Rome is more than halved compared to 2013 (when Marino won) but slightly higher than that of 2016 (when Giachetti won) pic.twitter.com/VIkH8ZLvF3

So the PD stabilized at the level of 2016 (including 3,000 votes comfortably online), that is, it stabilized on the year in which it came out of the Buzzi scandal and "Mafia capital" to say, and which turned into a sensational blow for the PD, which stopped at a result of 24%, with a much better known and loved candidate than Gualtieri and against the "Battleship", at that time, pentastellata. Now, with the voters of the M5s in a sort of “Free all”, a victory is to risk repeating a similar blow to 2016. Happy Letta, happy everyone!
Provided that the votes were really 48 thousand, because Richetti's candidate, who came second, but very close in the online vote, the votes were only 37 thousand. But Gualtieri won and it could not be otherwise with the PD which officially supported the candidate, so much so as to spread holy cards of the pre-marked cards . .. In the face of internal democracy.
