Boris Nadezhdin was banned from presidential elections, supposedly because of fake signatures, a regime's favorite tactic.
People were queuing for hours to sign for Nadezhdin, but supposedly he has trouble gathering real signatures. This regime spits Russians in the face with such an obvious manipulation of the election process.

the signatures collected in Tbilisi and Tel Aviv turned out to be unsuitable. Oh, what is this bloody regime doing?
If indeed there are questionable signatures, those can be dropped. But you cannot block a popular candidate because FSB put a couple of fake signatures here and there.Quote:

Btw, I'm not saying the US is perfect, far from it.
The US justice is highly politicized and beholden to the uniparty. They desperately try to keep Trump off the ballot.
But Russia is just a caricature.
He's an unpopular candidate. His goal in the nomination was to be removed in order to attract attention to himself and maybe, if he was lucky, get money to fight "Putin."Quote:

representatives of the election headquarters could have organized a normal collection of signatures, this is done elementary. but it was necessary to create a stir and a beautiful picture around a candidate with a rating of about zero. before his nomination, I didn't know a damn thing about him at all, his potential voters are a maximum of 5 percent. the traditional five percent, which is always there, or the traditional 10 percent that the Communists have.Quote:

Btw,
Brought 104734. They checked (as for everyone, as the law says - equally!) 60 thousand. Among them, 9147 unreliable ones were identified. One of the members of the Central Election Commission (a certain Shutov) simply somewhat clumsily called all the others reliable (including those that were not verified)Quote:
Moscow. February 8. INTERFAX.RU - The working group for checking signature lists in support of the nomination of candidates for the post of President of the Russian Federation invalidated 9,147 signatures in support of the candidate from the Civil Initiative party Boris Nadezhdin, the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation reported.
This is stated in the presentation demonstrated by Deputy Chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation Nikolai Bulaev during the commission meeting.
At the same time, 60 thousand signatures in support of Nadezhdin were verified; In total, the applicant submitted 104,734 signature sheets. 95,587 were recognized as reliable.
104734-9147= 95587
It wasn’t Nadezhdin whose 60,000 were checked “for some reason.” It was the CEC that initially determined (without contradicting the law) such a number for everyone to check.
The fact that Nadezhdin later had another 45 thousand checked is a wild fantasy.
Btw, Nadezhdin fell for the norms of his own law - since March 10, 2000, he was a member of the Standing Commission of the State Duma to study the practice of applying the electoral legislation of the Russian Federation in the preparation of elections and referendums in Russia.
The long queues were the scene at every place collecting signatures, check the Google Image search I have posted earlier.Quote:
