Putin, globalists, and Democrats may learn from each other on rigging elections | Eastern NC Now

Everyone expected Putin to rig his way to victory for his party in the Duma (parliament) election, and he did.  There was never any doubt that the would.  Indeed, a poll found that even a majority of the Russian people expected that.

Putin used a lot of expected techniques like pre-marked ballots for his party and, like the Democrats in 2020, having individuals dump large numbers of ballots into the ballot boxes when election observers were not watching..  However, instead of the easy to manipulate and cheat mass mail-in balloting favored by US Democrats, they have found something even easier to manipulate and cheat, voting by computer.  Expect our Democrats to start pushing for that soon.  They will learn from Putin's cheating methods.

Putin also banned parties that represented a real threat like Yablocko, the only major party  that openly opposed Putin's bloody war in Ukraine.  The globalists in Europe, are mulling that trick against the surging anti-immigration AfD in Germany which has been that country's most popular party for most of the last year.
