Reporters have photographed what appears to be evidence of people voting twice in Russias presidential election. Vladimir Putin returned to power at the weekend with a of the vote.
In the town of Ust-Djeguta, in southern Russia near Georgia, Reuters reporters photographed 17 people who appeared to cast two ballots. Leila Koichuyeva, a member of the election commission, when shown the pictures of people who apparently voted twice, said: They could be twins.
Zukhra Chomaeva, another election official at polling station number 217, said: How do I know if theyre the same person? They might look the same.
Ludmila Sklyarevskaya was among those photographed apparently voting twice, once at polling station 215 and once at polling station 216 in the town. She denied any wrongdoing.
Many of the people photographed appeared to be state employees: Sklyarevskaya was identified by a colleague as a hospital deputy director of health and safety.
Sklyarevskaya arrived to vote with a group of eight other women and one man through the gates of polling station 216. About 20 minutes later, the same group were observed voting again a few hundred metres away at polling station 215.
Approached about the incident, Sklyarevskaya said she had voted only once, at a third polling station, number 217. Who directed you to do this investigation? she asked. You do not have the right to get involved in the electoral system.

At polling station number 216, a count revealed there were not enough ballot papers to tally with the figure for Putin votes 1,299 that officials had provisionally pencilled in. When a recount produced the same outcome, the election officials said they were going home.

Theodore Dalrymple
This is what the king who will reign over you will claim as his rights:
He will take your sons and make them serve with his chariots and horses, and they will run in front of his chariots. Some he will assign to be commanders of thousands and commanders of fifties, and others to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and still others to make weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.
He will take your daughters to be perfumers and cooks and bakers. He will take the best of your fields and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his attendants. He will take a tenth of your grain and of your vintage and give it to his officials and attendants. Your male and female servants and the best of your cattle and donkeys he will take for his own use.
He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his slaves. When that day comes, you will cry out for relief from the king you have chosen, but the Lord will not answer you in that day.
But the people refused to listen to Samuel. No! they said. We want a king over us. Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to lead us and to go out before us and fight our battles.
When Samuel heard all that the people said, he repeated it before the Lord. 22 The Lord answered, Listen to them and give them a king.
Then Samuel said to the Israelites, Everyone go back to your own town.
1 Samuel 8 (NIV)
“Why should cattle have the gifts of freedom?
Their heritage from generation to generation is the belled yoke and the lash.”
- Alexander Pushkin
Pushkin’s quote closes Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s timeless essay “Live Not By Lies,” completed in Moscow in 1974 days before his arrest and exile to the West.
He returned to Russia in the nineties and voiced approval of Putin’s early years. Wonder what he’d say now...so many Soviet tendencies have made a comeback.

Solzhenitsyn has a huge brainpower combined with very bad judgement. Remember that he entered GULAG as a fanatic communist and was only turned because luckily for him his particular prison cell held learned intellectuals who educated him.
They really let Reuters take photographs....
The top one appears to be photographed. You don’t get the exact same wrinkles when the arm is in a different position.
Can’t verify this but he is also deemed by some to have been an anti-Semite?
Demand a recount!
Liberal green party used to do that to Putin’s puppet Trump.
And people say Russians have no sense of humor...
Write in votes for Hitlery Rotten Clinton. Nothing to see here, MOVE ALONG.
The Guardian report: Voter ID laws a burden on poor, black Americans, research shows
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jul/18/voter-id-poor-black-americans
Maybe Russians know liberal media hate voter photo ID law.
Erma Gawd.....you really haven’t read any of his works
Democrats also vote in Russia.
Twins, eh? In the U.S. they're called Democrat voters.
If they tried that in America, they’d be arrested for voter intimindation: counting voters, photographing them, etc.
After Russia influenced our election they influenced their own! I think we need to send a delegation, comey, Loretta lynch, Hillary Obama, fusion GPS, McCabe, Rothstein and throw in Ryan and McConnell
Thats it we need videos at all polling places to watch the same people driven in mass, around in busses, by Dhimmicrat operatives, to multiple polling places.
