This is what the weather will be like on election Sunday

This is what political consultant Thomas Hofer thinks, for example. “This influence is somewhat overestimated,” he said in an interview. Dealing with elections is now far more pragmatic than it was decades ago, especially in times of postal voting. Hofer believes that those people who don’t vote because of the weather usually wouldn’t do so anyway. This time, however, the areas affected by flooding could be an exception. Some people there currently have “other worries”.
