The Kremlin crooks hate honest elections so much that they not only rig their own, but also try to sabotage ours. Voting opened today at midnight. By 8:00 a.m. Moscow time, about 8,500 voters out of 165,048 registered had cast their ballots. After that, a massive attack began against all voting servers, and it is still ongoing. Entirely predictable. Obviously, the crooks have endless resources for organizing attacks like this in the form of taxpayers’ money, which they siphon off for this kind of nonsense, so it is hard to resist them. For example, in Chelyabinsk, the FSB (Russia’s security service) is actually conducting a raid at the RVC. Nothing страшного. The estimate for dealing with the attack is 2–3 hours. Voting will continue throughout today and tomorrow, until 8:00 p.m. Moscow time Everyone will definitely have time to vote. And if something truly extraordinary happens and Putin personally chews through the wires to shut down the internet across the whole country, then the Central Election Committee will consider extending the voting period. That’s the beauty of online elections: we can simply extend them. The full list of RVCs (regional election committees — in simpler terms, offline polling stations) is here. You can go there even now, register and verify your identity, and then vote once the CEC fends off the attack. The election campaign lasted two months, so we can certainly wait a few hours now. We’re definitely not going to forget in that time that we have the right to vote. P.S. I was looking on Google for an image for this post. For the query "Putin chewing through wires," it gives this:
Does this work?
