A BBC producer [at a polling station] heard a woman who had just dropped her ballot in the transparent box ask an election monitor where she would get paid.
Outside, we asked directly whether she had been offered cash to vote and she admitted it without qualms. She was angry that a man who had sent her to the polling station was no longer answering her calls. “He tricked me!” she said.
She would not reply when asked who she had voted for.
Interesting BBC article. At the end, it says:
I think we know.
The Kremlin tricking people onto voting against their own interests, shocking!
When the Kremlin wants people to vote, this never means anything good.
Other than Brexit, they’re usually encouraging people to vote against their own ability to vote.
Stupid enough to not even take the money beforehand. Amazing. But exactly the type of people one needs to target for this.
