Those polling places are not worth the ashes anyway. I can understand why people set fire to them. They are an insult to every russian who has not completly gelatinized his brain with state TV.

I would imagine they do something else when there’s not an election going on

Well, that’s one way to do it, but the whole organizing all at once was probably more effective

Wouldn’t be surprised if we see similar things in the US as time goes on.

When it happens in Russia it’s “the will of the people” but when it happens in America it will be “them damn anteefers tryna’ steal our election!”

I can only assume that FSB was able to reconstruct any destroyed ballots and found they were all Putin votes.

Are there even any other candidates? Or is it just one checkbox with Putin? Or maybe three, but they’re all Putin

There are 4 candidates including a candidate who helped fight the draft of hundreds of Russians and is anti war

“Massive voter turnout is expected on the first day of elections.”

Mobs destroy polling stations, 3 set ablaze.

“No! Not like that!”
