AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the election protest filed by Jolanta G. regarding alleged voting errors for her son's candidacy. Although the court admitted evidence showing discrepancies between the precinct protocol and actual ballot counts, it found these errors did not alter the election outcome. The decision rested on the fact that the candidate's party list received no mandates in the district, rendering the specific counting mistakes legally irrelevant to the final result.
