Regions-dominated CEC refuses to consider BYT complaints
The Central Election Commission, on which Regions have the largest number of representatives, has refused to address BYT demands of recounts of votes in a number of constituencies, UNIAN reports Feb. 14, with 10 members supporting the refusal, 4 nays and one abstaining.CEC explained its refusal by the fact that BYT complaints had been lodged later than the deadline envisaged by the law.
CEC members clashed over the refusal to consider BYT appeals. Before voting on the decision, Yulia Shvets and Zhanna Usenko-Chorna called CEC session a farce orchestrated by Regions members.

Ukraine has a sick system of political appointments to everything, and a sick system of political patronage.
Until Ukraine changes its sick system, it will continue to be the laughingstock of Europe, and it will continue to be stuck in political muck.
It will continue going nowhere fast if this type of buffoonery continues.
The Central Election Commission should be independent.
The judiciary and the legal system should be independent of the president and the zRada (Parliament).
