16 votes cast for the YABLOKO party were detected during recounting
of the votes at polling station No 192.
Boris Moiseyev, member of the Moscow Electoral Commission
from the YABLOKO party said that all YABLOKO’s bulletins were
found in the pile of bulletins cast for the communist party.
Also thee bulletins cast for LDPR and one for the Patriots
of Russia were also found in that pile. According to official
data, these parties also did not get a single vote at the
said polling station.
YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin and his family voted at
polling station No 192. After official data were released
it turned out that allegedly not a single vote was cast for
YABLOKO there. It is also interesting to note that the same
type of electoral distrcit where Vladimir Putin voted (security
measures did not allow for any frauds there) reported that
YABLOKO obtained 18% at this polling station. Sergei Mitrokhin
filed a complaint with the Moscow City Electoral Commission.
The latter applied to court which annulled the results of
the voting at polling station No 192 and obliged the Territorial
Electoral Commission to conduct recounting of the votes.
“The first recounting demonstrated that falsifications of
the results of the voting on October 11 did take place. This
gives us grounds to demand total recounting of the votes in
all the electoral districts, at least where the results of
YABLOKO and other parties looked suspiciously low,” Sergei
Mitrokhin noted.
According to Mitrokhin, YABLOKO is forwarding an appeal to
Public Prosecutor General demanding to conduct Public Prosecutor’s
inspection of the complaints of the actions (or negligence)
of election commissions in all the Russian Federation subjects,
as well as all the evidence of fraud published in the mass
media and Internet. Mitrokhin says that that corresponding
measures of procuratorial response, up to applying to the
courts with a claim to annul as unlawful the official results
of elections, should be adopted.
