There’s only a month left, and everything is clear. Most importantly, it’s clear what needs to be done. The whole country is divided into 225 districts. Putin’s United Russia — the party of crooks and thieves — wants to grab every single one of them, all 100%. To snatch all the districts in the State Duma elections on September 19, they declared half the country extremist. They barred strong candidates from running. And now they’re even removing not-so-strong ones from the race — they’re afraid of our “Smart Voting.” And it really works. For the first time in the last 30 years, you and I have a working, tested mechanism for defeating the ruling party in district elections (the kind where you put a checkmark next to a candidate’s name). We tried “Smart Voting” in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and cities across Siberia. It definitely works. People hate United Russia. Its candidates get no more than 25–35%, while those opposed to it get a combined 65–75%. But without “Smart Voting,” that 75% gets split among several opposition candidates. United Russia comes in first and wins. With “Smart Voting,” we choose the strongest non–United Russia candidate and give our votes to them. And we win. Yes, right now we’re not talking about sending lots of good candidates to the Duma — almost all of them have been barred from the election. But at least we can put into Duma seats the people we actually voted for, instead of the ones appointed in the Kremlin. We will get back at United Russia and the Kremlin: - For raising the retirement age - For rising prices - For wrecking the economy - For theft and corruption - For hundreds of idiotic laws It won’t take much time. It’s safe. And, excuse me, it’s not exactly going to overwork or exhaust you. You need to register for “Smart Voting,” and before the election we’ll send you the name of the candidate you should vote for. It’s important to remember: the website will almost certainly be blocked soon. So download the app — it can’t be blocked. The links for Apple and Android are in the stories. Let’s tear at least a few districts away from these vile United Russia bastards. Let’s not let them take all 225 out of 225. In the month we have left, bring a couple of friends and acquaintances to “Smart Voting.” Let’s push together and at least give it a try 😉
