The second part of the “secret” stuffing at the elections in St. Petersburg was published

It shows two women performing “tricks” with a ballot box to distribute the ballots they had previously cast.

“Observers of St. Petersburg” write that, most likely, the video shows polling station No. 5 of the Admiralteysky district at school No. 260.

I still do t quite get it tbh. They added a few dozen votes. Not entirely to get to 88%. They are clearly still just reporting whatever numbers they want regardless of the ballots.

Oh my. I didn't realise all of russia was voting using a single ballot box. So it seems they really have monetary problems? 🤡

(And, yes, they are mostly making up numbers anyway, but there has to be checks in some places, to make it look "legit". This was one of them)

Edit: the video clearly has a jump cut, and isn't showing all of the stuffing. So it is actually impossible to tell what amount they added. But they clearly went at it for enough time to move around the box.
