The Saratov branch of YABLOKO stated mass-scale fraud
at elections to the State Duma in the region. Comparison of
the data from the protocols given to observers at local electoral
commissions with the data published by the Central Electoral
Commission demonstrated a discrepancy amounting to thousands
votes. Votes given for different parties were ascribed to
the ruling United Russia party.
Thus 6,433 votes were added to United Russia at 23 Saratov
polling stations, which raised the result of the ruling party
by 41.62 per cent. These votes were stolen from other parties:
YABLOKO lost 574 votes (i.e. 41.02 per cent of its vote).
For example, 110 votes were stolen from YABLOKO at polling
station 128: the Central Electoral Commission web-site indicated
that only 12 votes were given for YABLOKO instead of 122 votes
as of the protocol. The same polling station also demonstrated
that the CPRF lost 189 votes (369 as of the protocol versus
180 as of the Central Electoral Commission data), Just Russia
was deprived of 150 votes (302 versus 152), Patriots of Russia
lost 20 votes (23 versus 3) and 10 votes disappeared from
the Right Cause (13 versus 3). The total of the stolen 479
votes were added to the ruling United Russia raising the result
of the latter from 730 to 1,209 votes.
Polling station No 300 doubled United Russias result from
856 to 1670 votes depriving YABLOKO of 45 votes (101 versus
56).
Large discrepancies between the Central Electoral Commission
data and observers protocols were also detected at polling
stations Nos 135, 139, 154, 176, 184, 190, 191, 214, 225,
229, 230, 240, 242, 252, 260, 261, 279, 295, 301, 311, 312.
YABLOKO continues receiving complaints and evidence of fraud.
All this is important for the litigation.
Last week YABLOKO submitted the first eight suits to eight
Moscow courts demanding to cancel the results of the voting
at eight polling stations.
