Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed earlier today that U.S. elections in the past have been rigged through mail-in voting. “In the United States, previous elections were falsified through postal voting … they bought ballots for $10, filled them out, and threw them into mailboxes without any supervision from observers, and that’s it,” the Russian President said, but without offering hard evidence for his assertion.
Putin is currently seeking a fifth term as the President of Russia. The country will hold elections from March 15th through the 17th of this year. The incumbent Putin is expected to win re-election by a wide margin, though the fairness of Russia’s elections has been questioned by observers.
