11. It's not a recount, they're going to hold the first round of voting again

As far as I can tell, all candidates will still be able to run - they haven't said anyone is banned. But Georgescu will presumably be targeted as "the Russian candidate" in the hope that more people will turn out to vote for others. Whether or not that will be enough to kick him out of the top two to go forward to the second round, who knows (I'd imagine that most people who voted for him will do so again, because few people like admitting they were duped), but it should mean his chances of winning the second round are lower.
