    He posted a video of it. This means that:

    • whatever was put on any ballot didn’t matter anyway, because with the current situation in russia there would be a wave of jailings going on
    • they very carefully watch what’s showing up on the internet and will punish you in an instant if they don’t like what they see
    • he should get out of the fucking country as long as he still can if he doesn’t want to find himself in an unmarked van in direction of the frontline

      what happens when a protest ballot catches the vote counter off guard because it’s really fucking funny

        That has either the effect that the vote counter just has a laugh while not effecting the published numbers, or the far worse effect of the FSB standing in front of the voters door in a few days.
