National broadcasters for Spain and Belgium have now complained to the competition’s organisers, the European Broadcasting Union, after Israel won the public vote by a large margin.
RTVE, Spain’s public broadcaster, and VRT, the Flemish broadcasting company, are demanding that organisers investigate the televoting system, which allows voters at home to vote up to 20 times for a small cost charged to each vote by text or phone call.
…
The EBU confirmed that RTVE and VRT had been in contact and said it took the complaints “seriously”.
Martin Green, the director of Eurovision, said: “It is important to emphasise that the voting operation for the Eurovision Song Contest is the most advanced in the world and each country’s result is checked and verified by a huge team of people to exclude any suspicious or irregular voting patterns.”
Because any pro Israeli types voted directly for Israel,.and voted as. many times as possible in as many ways as possible. even if they were not watching it.
I’d understand that if it happened in one maybe two countries, but this happened across multiple countries where most people don’t condone the actions of Isreal. I’m not going just believe that some kind of a perfect storm gave Isreal the most televotes.
