The EBU has confirmed that Belarus' jury votes were incorrect, as many have speculated.

https://eurovoix.com/2019/05/22/ebu-admits-belarus-grand-final-jury-result-was-incorrect/

The official results have changed, and the end positions of some countries have changed:
:mk: now 7th, previously 8th
:az: now 8th, previously 7th
:cy: now 13th, previously 15th
:mt: now 14th, previously 16th
:sl: now 15th, previously 13th
:fr: now 16th, previously 14th
:al: now 17th, previously 18th
:rs: now 18th, previously 17th
:sm: now 19th, previously 20th
:ee: now 20th, previously 19th
:by: now 24th, previously 25th
:de: now 25th, previously 24th

EDIT: Missed another flip, thanks to [MENTION=14117]0scar[/MENTION] for pointing it out:
:no: now 6th, previously 5th
:se: now 5th, previously 6th

Astounding how many positions changed with just one jury.

I wonder if they are going to address the issue with Poland and Czech Jury...

Plus North Macedonia becomes the winner of the jury vote.

Oh wow I missed that one! That means the result of 14 of the 26 countries has changed :eek:

that's just crazy :O A mistake like this could've easily affected the winner as well. They had a day to make sure everything's right! I don't understand how something like this can happen, especially when it was so obvious (I mean the aggregated jury vote resulting in a 12 points for the country that otherwise didn't get any jury points at all and noone got suspicious?!)

I mean, if the Danish juries didn't screw up in 2016, Australia would've been just 9 points behind Ukraine :?
So EBU needs to address this problem and make sure that people vote correctly in the future

And Norwegian newspapers were bragging about the fact that we beat Sweden for once after they made fun of our entry lol, what a mess
And I was happy that we beat Sweden for once - not because I liked KEIINO better than John but you know it was fun to see us in front of Sweden for once :rolleyes:

[MENTION=14659]Preuss[/MENTION] They really have to, imagine if these error would have resulted in a different winner...

Honestly, I never thought EBU would correct the results afterwards, they have only done that 3 times before, 1976, 1996 and 1998

sweden 5th? blech. at least john can now join the "sold my soul to be 5th" club founded by frans and joined by robin.

most importantly, TAMARA IS NOW THE JURY WINNER. ICONIC QUEEN. WE ARE #PROUD.

it's still corruption, what the fuck. why do you make it your mission to defend jury corruption at every corner? you do know belarus is an eastern country, right? aren't you supposed to beg ebu to forbid their participation so their televotes can never vote for russia again or something?
