"Why not? Just mandate mailin ballots, print ‘em out by the tens of thousands and “count” them. worked over here in the last five years."

You forgot the scamdemic to help escalate the fraud.

Elections are a threat to democracy.

Bad news for Zelenskyy is now being questioned by NPR. Has he lost his sainthood status? Has this not been said by those here that are not supporters of supporting Ukraine, because in many ways they created their current troubles, though they were cajoled into buying the narrative that NATO would have their backs against Russia. All our involvement in this conflict has been able to do is show that Biden is a weak leader, and that we are not trustworthy at all with this usurper occupying the White House. He has made a mess of everything, especially this nation.

OK.

https://rm.coe.int/constitution-of-ukraine/168071f58b

The Ukrainian Constitution mentions martial law ten times. Their history with Russia is the reason. Search for "martial law" and start reading, consider what Articles 64 and 83 mean during a declared state or war or martial law. I'm not the only one saying this.

Foreign Policy, July 11, 2023: "Wartime Elections in Ukraine Are Impossible Voting in the middle of the Russian invasion is legally and practically unworkable."

As pointed out in post #11, Churchill was apointed Prime Minster in 1940 and had his first election in 1951. War does that to the nice way of running Democratic countries.

” When war is ongoing, elections like the phony one to anoint Putin in Russia are complete nonsense.”

LOL, it should be a slam dunk. He could have elections in his zone and he should be extremely popular with the Russian zones gone, shouldn’t he?

And it’s a bit much to pretend Churchill was simply “appointed”. Also yeah, we had elections in WWII, and during the civil war. But Chancellor Zelensky can’t be bothered because he’s soooooooo popular lol.

That Constitution died when the coup seized power in Kiev. They only refer to it now when they can use it as a weapon for the Reich.

Yes. Zelensky himself changed it in July, 2023.

The translation of the constitution is from 1996. You missed that one. The FP article explains the effects of laws passed before Russia invaded. Its date of publication is irrelevant. Did you ever write an English 101 or 102 paper?

The Ukraine constitution is a museum piece with Zelensky forming a dictatorship.

I expect he and his crooked cronies will disappear to EU or South American countries quickly just before the fall of the country to the Russians.

“War does that to the nice way of running Democratic countries.”

The Confederate States managed to hold elections in 1863, and by any measure, they were in a much worse situation than Ukraine.
