New York Times Says Russia Keeps Candidates Off the Ballot with Technicalities

This New York Times story is about a Russian local election, in which the incumbent Mayor of a small town wanted an easy re-election, but he also wanted the election to look genuine, so he recruited a janitor to run against him. To everyone’s shock, the janitor won.

The story says Russia is a “managed democracy”, where “elections take place on schedule, but the incumbent virtually never loses. To achieve this, the police squelch real political opposition, and election commissions bump promising candidates off the ballot with technicalities.”

When that happens in the United States, the Times in recent years has not expressed any complaint. This year, when miniscule technicalities kept Green Party presidential nominee Howie Hawkins off the ballot in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, the Times either ignored the story, or its news coverage was supportive of the candidate’s removal. In Wisconsin, Hawkins was kept off the ballot because his running mate moved during the petition drive and some of their petitions had the old address listed. In Pennsylvania, a form was faxed in to the Elections Office instead of being attached to the petition. This year, the Green Party was also kept off the ballot in Montana for all office, after Democratic officials invented a procedure to ask voters to retract their signatures that did not exist in the election law, and courts then removed the Green Party. The Times did not cover the Montana story.

  1. Why are you deleting my posts? I wanted to tell people that I accidentally pooped my pants and that’s why I still live with mommy.

  2. Libertarians should look in the mirror at our own team, the censorship and vile nature of the Libertarian Party insider Old Boy Network, and not so much point fingers at others.

    The United Coalition USA has been bringing correct math, paper ballots marked with numerals correctly and under pure proportional representation Electoral College, marked paper ballots kept as proof.

    United Coalition USA:

    Unfortunately us men didn’t do a good job because with censorship of new people and new ideas many Libertarian Party state committees increased the percent of male Electors.

    New Hampshire Libertarian Party increased percent of male Electors from 75% to 100% in 2020.

    The United Coalition USA was snuffed out in 2020 and six of twelve POTUS candidates in attendence for the debate were relegated to the floor by one-party voting system.

    The Libertarian Party 2016 Johnson/Weld for Prez brought about 18% female names as Electors according to http://www.archives.gov reporting;

    Pennsylvania Republicans return to Supreme Court to challenge extended deadline for mail-in ballots
    Four days after the justices left in place a ruling by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court that requires election officials in that state to count mail-in ballots received within three days after Election Day, Nov. 3, Pennsylvania Republicans returned to the Supreme Court. This time, rather than asking the court to put the state supreme court’s ruling on hold, they asked the justices to rule on the merits of the case – and to do so before Election Day. And with the Senate set to vote on Monday night on the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to fill the vacancy left by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, there could be nine justices to consider, and eventually vote on, the Republicans’ request.

    UN: Nuclear weapons ban treaty to enter into force

    EDITH M. LEDERER, Associated Press October 24, 2020

    UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The United Nations announced Saturday that 50 countries have ratified a U.N. treaty to ban nuclear weapons triggering its entry into force in 90 days, a move hailed by anti-nuclear activists but strongly opposed by the United States and the other major nuclear powers.

    Who in UN will ORDER/COMMAND ANY of the nuke powers to give their nukes to the UN ???

  10. Men, the Unity Platform USA has more paper ballots which arrived by US post, newly marked paper ballots which will be counted and updated no later than December 31st. Here are the current totals to Unity Platform USA:

    The perpetual votes, and then “top 26” starting January 1st, helps keep our decision-making dynamic. One new item that I am interesting in hearing feedback is the item “USA vs Google Antitrust Lawsuit” and our legal team would like to file in California and at FEC because of Sergey Brin’s unfair antitrust block on our team starting from day one.

    Get in touch with United Coalition away if you have time Monday and we might try to get some good PR.

    Will the Devil City monsters be doing any thing else ???

    — besides having more bankruptcy deficits

    — until econ Judgment Day – to make the Oct 1929 econ crash day be trivial.

  13. The comment section on this website has turned into one of those sites from the 90s that pop-up 20 ads as soon as you open the page, but instead of ads it’s nonsensical comments by people (or bots) that barely have any sense of basic grammar or logic.

  14. Basic Trump scheme to subvert all election websites with their fascism / trumpism

    — using hacks/morons with many fake names —

    We are Q
    Trust in the plan
    Stormfront Q
    etc etc etc

  15. Whereas the New York Times is famous for its hysterical fear and ignorance of anything Russian, and

    Whereas The New York Crimes has enthusiastically embraced every unproven Russia conspiracy theory levelled against Republicans (while remaining silent about proven documentation of Treasonous collaborative activity with Russia by numerous democrats, and

    Whereas The New York Crimes has been caught in numerous lies and manipulations of provable truth,
    it is obvious to informed and rational people by now that anything that rag publishes should always be taken with a grain of salt.

  16. Q is a psyop. It is disinfo. Complete nonsense, probably put out by the Deep State. It is controlled opposition. I never bought into the Q nonsense.
