BERLIN (Reuters) - Ballot irregularities reported by a whistleblower could dash the chances of the far-right, anti-immigrant AfD party to enter Germany's parliament after the Sept. 24 election.

The Alternative for Germany has 7-9 percent support in pre-election polls, down from double digits in late 2016 on the heels of a migrant influx into Germany, but enough to pass the 5 percent threshold for seats in the Bundestag (lower house).
