Whew. More than 200 simultaneous raids in 41 cities across the country! Old man Putin is deeply upset by the success of "Smart Voting" and has once again ordered the destruction of our campaign headquarters network. ⠀ It’s okay. Things will be tough for a while, but if you support us, we’ll break through. And we will definitely sweep United Russia off the board. Take a look at the voting statistics in Moscow: ⠀ 1. Across all districts combined, 555,063 people voted for United Russia candidates, while 586,286 voted for Smart Voting-backed candidates. In other words, overall, more people voted for the good side, despite the fraud and abuse of administrative resources. ⠀ 2. In the previous election, the United Russia candidate received an average of 47% of the vote and easily beat the main opponent, who averaged 21%. In this election, the United Russia candidate averaged 36%, while the Smart Voting-backed candidate averaged 38%. ⠀ 3. In the previous election, United Russia had 17 star candidates who won more than 50% of the vote. Do you know how many there are now? 0. ⠀ 4. Mathematical calculations show that Smart Voting gave its candidate an average boost of 19 percentage points. ⠀ 5. If you and I had brought just 50,000 more people into Smart Voting (a ridiculously small number for Moscow), then United Russia would have lost every single seat. All of them. They would have had 0 deputies. ⠀ Victory will be ours!
