Election analyst Ivan Shukshin says Moscow precinct results are being rewritten after Russia’s State Duma election

Election analyst Ivan Shukshin said tally sheets containing the results of Russia’s State Duma elections were being rewritten “on a large scale” in Moscow. As one example, Shukshin pointed to a tally sheet from polling station No. 2700 in western Moscow that he said an election commission member had to “fight” to obtain. The original tally showed United Russia with 21. 5% of the vote at the polling station, the Communist Party with 28.

Why it matters

It suggests possible manipulation of Russia's parliamentary election results, undermining confidence in the electoral process.
