This hellish clown show (also known as Yury Luzhkov’s trash circus) goes on. yashin was kicked off the ballot the day before yesterday after 100% of his signatures were declared invalid. And now they’re removing v_milov, in whose signature sheets they supposedly "found" a 28.5% defect rate. The especially absurd part is that Milov’s own signature (which he is legally allowed to provide) was also declared invalid. That is, in the presence of V. S. Milov, the commission declared fake the signature that V. S. Milov had personally put down in support of V. S. Milov. I’d like to draw the attention of the various smartasses and election-law experts who were practically at each other’s throats yesterday in my comments over the claim that "Yashin only has himself to blame; he filled out the signature sheets incorrectly": ***Milov’s election commission did not say a single word to him about the now-infamous subscript note. ***I can’t even be bothered to write an angry denunciation. Bastards, that’s what they are.
