(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.

Right so why doesn’t he provide proof then?

I cited multiple examples with ample proof behind them.

Are you denying the Brooks Brothers Riot and Operation Eagle Eye happened? Or are you just upset that Putin isn't enumerating them from his bully pulpit?

Lol see, this dude had facts to back up his claim but because what he said was something people dont want to hear he gets downvoted to zero. I notice that a lot on here. It's part of the sewer that leaked over from Reddit.
