when the russians get in and fraud the election it is a fraud. whether you like it or not. if both the EU, the US, nato and everyone else on the planet says there were huge amounts of fraud. you cant get from A to B if there is fraud.
you are right, that fraud should be prevented beforehand. but when most say there was fraud i will side with them. not with you and putin and the communist politicians.
Just because the good guys did not win in our opinion does not automatically mean it's fraud, no matter who says it. The NYT is the last source I'd trust anyway.
What are you going to do, invalidate the election? What's the point in having an election then?
