> The candidates need to report spending to a state organization overseeing elections and this guy reported that he spent nothing on his election campaign, which is impossible as there have been flyers with his face on them, plus ads on social media. This is against the law.

its very possible that HE didn't spend anything. that's how US political campaigns work. the vast majority of spending is by third parties.

If you're not in control and responsible for your own campaign, how can they be in control of the country once they run it?

[yieldcrv → ithkuil]

If they inspired people to support them during their campaign, they'll have more support to delegate and spread their cause

In some countries (NZ for example) this does not exempt you from reporting requirements unless your total spend falls under NZD$15,700.

but not at the penalty of annulling the election results

the government would just levy sanctions against the third party that failed to report
