Russia’s elections commission has said it found “dead souls” among the more than 100,000 signatures of support submitted by Boris Nadezhdin, the sole anti-war candidate in next month’s presidential election, in a sign that he could be disqualified from a carefully managed ballot meant to deliver victory for Vladimir Putin.
Nadezhdin, a veteran politician who has associated with Kremlin insiders and the opposition to Putin, has been waging a last-minute campaign to get on the ballot for the election, with thousands of Russians standing for hours in the freezing cold to add their signature in his support.
While Nadezhdin has not yet been disqualified, Friday’s briefing at the central elections commission indicated that he could be removed in the run-up to the vote. He has been summoned to the commission on Monday for a review of the “errors” among his signatures.

I visualize that as you turning in between the two commenters mid-sentence, telling off both of them.
That was a great visual 😄
We both needed it.
My dearest apologies, my dear lad or lady, I must be misinformed. I was under the mistaken assumption that we didn’t want Lemmy turning into reddit memefest of smoothbrainery. It shal’nt’nt happen again.
