Italian Court May Certify Results Today genre: Polispeak
Silvio Berlusconi, the current Prime Minister may be forced to accept defeat if the Italian high court certifies the election results as early as today. The apparent victor, Romani Prodi has voiced criticism at Berlusconi's refusal to acknowledge he will not retain his position. Prodi has said "Enough is enough." According to the Associated Press:
Berlusconi, Italy's richest man and one not accustomed to being told no, maintained the election was too close to call.
The election was one of the closest on Italian record. However, the Interior Ministry, which oversees scrutiny of the ballots, revised its original estimate and said the number of disputed votes is too small to change the outcome of the election, held April 9 and 10.
