Putin says past U.S. elections were rigged

[Coventina]

(Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin, running for a new six-year term in an election that his opponents say is a parody of democracy, said on Tuesday that past U.S. elections had been rigged by postal 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," Putin said, without providing evidence.

Putin's opponents say the March election in Russia is no real contest as the president wields unchallenged power and his main rival, Alexei Navalny, is serving more than 30 years in jail on charges that Navalny says were trumped up.

They say the use of electronic voting creates scope for authorities to manipulate the vote in Putin's favour without detection.

7. Here is the thing about mail ballots in the USA.

It needs to be a specific ballot based on the address of the voter.
Each ballot would be identified by the precinct which could be different from a neighboring precinct. The boundary for a precinct could be the next street over or a few blocks down.

They could not just mass produce ballots and give them to anyone in a city. My city has over 300 precincts. If there was a city election someone living at an address might have a ballot for city council district 1 while very nearby a voter would have district 2.

Election ballots don't have just a choice for President. It could include Governor/Lt Governor, Secretary of State, State Treasurer, State Senate, State House, and then there would be U.S. House and maybe U.S. Senator.

Putin must think Presidential elections the ballot only has choices for that postion on the ballot.
