How Russia attempted to steal Moldovan election, referendum, and what comes next

Although #Russian #interference has taken many forms in #Moldova since its independence in 1991, the election and referendum results on Sunday shocked many pro-European Moldovans.

Despite opinion polls showing clear support for entrenching the desire for EU accession into the country's constitution, the success of the EU referendum came down to the wire, with the support of the large Moldovan diaspora securing a 50.38% victory margin.

The "yes" vote won by a mere 11,000 votes.

Moldovan authorities, the EU, and U.S. officials, as well as independent observers, blamed an unprecedented attack on the country's democracy from #criminal networks and #political groups tied to Russia.

US offers $10 million reward for information on Russian media organization accused of election interference

United States is providing a reward of up to $10 million for information that helps prevent or disrupts foreign election interference linked to the Russian state-sponsored Rybar media organization, the U.S. State Department announced. Rybar and its employees are accused of using social media to meddle in the upcoming U.S. presidential election.

The established bounty comes as the U.S. continues to crackdown on Russian election #interference.

On Sept. 4, amid the presidential election campaign period, the U.S. announced sanctions against high-profile Russian propagandists like Margarita Simonyan and seized 32 internet domains linked to Kremlin propaganda campaigns.

#Rybar LLC, founded by the now deceased founder of Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, is a state-funded Russian media organization that is contracted by Russian state-owned arms manufacturer #Rostec, according to the State Department's Rewards for Justice program.

As I was closing down the machinery for the night, I caught a re-run of #ErinBurnett #OutFront where she re-hashed that old crap about #JillStein being some kind of #spoiler in presidential #elections.

Erin, you and all the Democrats who believe that Jill does NOT have her own base and that YOU ARE ENTITLED to Stein's votes are taking a position that is ANTI DEMOCRATIC because democracy requires choices. More than two choices, actually.

People who vote for Jill Stein were NEVER EVER EVER NEVER going to vote Dem OR Republican so get over your fucking selves.

End the Chaos of First Past the Post (FPTP)

Think we get the governments we voted for?

Think again. We haven’t had a single party government the majority voted for since the 1930s. First Past the Post means millions of our votes make no difference to parliament.

No party has won a majority of the #vote in almost a century, yet due to the voting system we have near-constant single party governments setting the rules for everyone. Our parliaments never represent the views of the public
