Key legal question
Whether the Federal Supreme Court could enter into the complaint seeking a recount of the cantonal vote results solely because the nationwide referendum result was close.
Extracted holding
The complaint was insufficiently substantiated and the nationwide result alone was not a legally relevant basis for ordering a recount of the cantonal result.
Extracted reasoning
The Basel-Stadt result was itself not close, and even a substantial change there would not affect the federal outcome. A recount based only on the overall Swiss margin would require a request covering all cantons, which was not made.
