  1. “European electoral observers said the election took place in a “divisive” environment marked by intimidation and instances of vote buying, double voting and physical violence.

    During the campaign, Georgian Dream used “anti-Western and hostile rhetoric … promoted Russian misinformation, manipulations, and conspiracy theories,” said Antonio López-Istúriz White, the head of the European Parliament monitoring delegation.

    “Paradoxically, the government further claimed that it was continuing Georgia’s European integration,” he added.”

    As a USian, this sounds familiar.

  2. The president is a figurehead here like in Germany, she has no real power in this situation.

    Georgia is a parliamentary republic.

  3. Georgian here.

    It is amazing the amount of videos we have of USSR type of rigging.

    Intimidation, beat ups, shoving tons ballots in boxes, taking ID’s and voting in their place, literally paying for votes as well.

  4. Can we just … ya know… not do the whole fascist racist trope again? It’s really really exhausting to repeatedly teach you dumb fucks this lesson… my grandpa helped to make the Norden bombsight that arguably destroyed the Nazis. I’m also an engineer and have access to technology that’d make gramps think I fell right out of Star Trek… do. Not. Do. It.
