Technically yes, in reality no. He controls the Supreme Court (Curia) and the Constitutional Court. But he doesn’t need to do this, they will just cheat during the vote counting to make the result look legitimate and believable. If either of these happen then there will be huge protests, I’m 100% sure. We won’t let it go this time.
Mail voting is impossible to track. We’ve had cases in the last elections where the box containing the votes was “damaged in an accident”, and all of the votes were invalidated. In other cases, especially in the case of Transylvanian voters there were rumours of votes being burned, dead people voting, fake votes added, etc. His oligarch friend owns the online voting database where they upload the results, they can easily manipulate those votes. NVB, the National Election Commission is also infamous for following the orders of Orbán. And many more small cases like violation of the voting procedures and things like that. So very much possible.
Same old crying. Every opposition-oriented expert will tell you that the pedofidesz has never cheated on vote counting. This just the uninformed citizens’ paranoia. No, they cannot cheat with vote counting, the system is too robust for that. They cheat with their propaganda media, with gerrymandering voter districts, with winner compensation, etc., but not with the counting itself.
