Elections to the Constitutional Court

Voted on the second try at the polling station. Voting failed yesterday. Since I was on a business trip, I completely missed all the news about preparations for the vote and went at random. I was pleasantly surprised by the organization of the elections - everything was explained in detail by the staff of the precinct commission. I was surprised by the turnout - I had to wait in line. The lists of members of the Constitutional Court with brief resumes generally pleased me - for the first time since perestroika, I felt that I was voting for real people, and the activities of some of them were quite well known to me.

By the way, unlike deputies in the state. Duma from Stavropol. I don’t even know who it is. I asked my friends and they stared in surprise: why am I even asking incomprehensible questions? I found the names on the Internet - well, they don’t say anything, “they are terribly far from the people.”

And one more consideration: there is an opinion circulating on the Internet that 100,000 (maybe 200,000) who want to vote is an insignificant proportion of the Russian population and the support for the opposition is equally insignificant. I would like to note that these one hundred or two hundred thousand are active citizens, of whom there are significantly more than federal officials: there are only a little over 35,000 of them. And they manipulate hundreds of millions! So the opposition has a numerical superiority, and they will gradually learn to manipulate. And change the country for the better too.
