Putin changes Russia's electoral law to allow remote vote

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/05/putin-russia-electoral-law-remote-vote-200524091018355.html

snip of article:

Russian President Vladimir Putin has approved changes to the country's electoral law, allowing Russians to vote electronically or by mail in future polls, according to the Kremlin.

Opponents to Saturday's move say an electronic system will be easier to manipulate and will make it hard for independent observers to notice irregularities.

More:
Russian senators endorse Putin's constitutional changes
Putin will go before 2036
Putin approves legal changes in bid to stay in power until 2036
They also say that the changes are being introduced at a point in time when the coronavirus lockdown means the public is not able to express opposition by protesting against the changes.


I wonder if his puppet will reconsider. Cooking the results electronically.

Putin will go before 2036, what is he superhuman??
