Interfax reports:
Moscow. January 23. INTERFAX.RU - Based on the results of the first sample, the governor of the Irkutsk region Dmitry Mezentsev and one of the founders of the Yabloko party Grigory Yavlinsky had more than 10% defects in their signature lists, but the chances of registration for each of these candidates are different, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation notes.
“Preliminarily, a little more than 10% of defects were identified in Grigory Yavlinsky’s signature sheets. Dmitry Mezentsev has approximately the same percentage. However, Mr. Mezentsev has less chance of being registered, since he has very few so-called insurance signatures. Yavlinsky has more of them, and therefore in In case of a secondary sample, there is a chance,” CEC member Elena Dubrovina told Interfax on Monday.
I thought that Yavlinsky would get married. This is the only candidate whose signature collectors were seen by everyone. This was done openly, with daily reports on the Internet. The rest, including Prokhorov, about whom Ms. Dubrovina is silent, collected signatures somehow unnoticed by the population.
The only reason why Yavlinsky is being removed is the need to get rid of the presence of Yabloko observers at the polling stations. In the parliamentary elections they worked better than others, recorded the largest number of violations, summarized everything, created the “Churov list” and are now fighting in the courts. Putin understands that Yavlinsky is not his competitor, but he does not want professional observers at the “fairest elections.”
