With all due fairness, I have seem few articles that are less propaganda as this one. The article says voters are FORCED to vote from their beds, showing 2 bed-ridden voters casting ballots.
On this side of the world, that called ballot harvesting.
Then, they show a newly wed couple going into vote, claiming they cut short their wedding celebration just to cast ballots. 3 things:
1. Checked the left hand on the bride - perhaps already married.
2. Noticed both needed to show their passport. Voter ID maybe?
3. Lucky groom, but I digress...
Other things I noticed:
* paper ballots
* other candidates running against Putin.
* on and this one: “...Voters are casting their ballots Friday through to Sunday at polling stations across the vast country’s 11 time zones, as well as in illegally annexed regions of Ukraine...”
What - 3 days of voting? and didn’t those regions vote to be part of Russia - thus participate in their elections?
Oh, and the best part (before the opposition fires back): I thought Putin was a dictator? If so, why even bother having elections in the first place?
And why would these people be so eager to vote?
One candidate. Predetermined result.
