AI generated

The Supreme Court allowed Józef M.'s protest against the presidential election, finding that Aleksander Kwaśniewski's false claim of higher education violated election laws. The petitioner argued this misinformation influenced voter decisions, while the Court noted the inability to quantify the exact impact on the final result. Consequently, the Court ruled that the procedural violation could have affected the outcome, thereby validating the protest despite the lack of criminal conviction.
