“We can assume that the design of banknotes has been ordered, developed and approved by the high command, and the attraction of voting started in hindsight, Eyewash”.
Anton Nosik:
The Russian Central Bank muddied the Internet voting for the design of the 200-ruble and 2,000-ruble banknotes.
Why he did it, nobody knows. All the Treasury of the world (including the CBR) has so far successfully dealt with the design of paper money without any referendums, plebiscites and even polls.
But what was up with this attraction with popular consent. Mastered money, and made a special website with an amazing address http://tvoya-rossiya.ru/, screwed on it voting is a confirmation SMS and would like statistics in real time.
Of course, the patriots of Volgograd, Irkutsk, Sevastopol, the Far East, Kazan, Sochey, Nizhny Novgorod, Vladimir, Petrozavodsk and Sergiev Posad immediately rushed to this website to vote for their city or region has been immortalized on the new bills. Some particularly tech-savvy enthusiasts one vote did not stop, but began to be recorded in the published figures, save screenshots, to bring results in signs… I Believe that at this point they were guided by the experience of two previous online polls: Stalin and the mosque “Heart of Chechnya”. There, as the reader will recall, was a fierce voting battle between the cheaters and owners of the attraction, which at night twisted received per day votes manually. As a result, the winner each time was determined by the arbitrary decision of the organizers, which were carefully shaped the final figures.
Want trust, want — check, but those enthusiasts who expect the same story again with a vote of the Central Bank, received the confirmation of his gloomy forebodings almost immediately. It turned out that different candidates one after the other (once a day, during a site upgrade) “pririsovyvat round amount of votes. Such an amazing home with round numbers, it was found during the observation in the statistics of each of the 10 members vote. Someone has added 3,000, someone from 10,000, but all the time round the numbers: there would be 2999 or 10.001… 
It was also found that the city of Sochi took away the already cast votes. Although no rules of voting “against” and opinion of votes is not provided.
“After the next update, which organizers produce twice a day, 10 September, the result, Sochi has been deducted 2778 votes… moreover, the organizers are not just voices deducted, but not added anything to the existing, like for Sochi, no one voted for a whole day,” complained the correspondent of TASS in the city hall of Sochi.
A few days later, the press service of the Central Bank gave its own explanation, even more amazing than the loss of votes. I even dare not to paraphrase them, just quote verbatim:
Verification via SMS is delayed related to the need for information exchange between the website and the mobile operator, in this connection, after verifying data on voting via SMS can be corrected in the smaller party. In the period from 8 to 10 September voting for Sochi was very active, and the data showed a decrease in the total volume 2778 votes, were associated with obtaining data on failures of authorization via SMS. Such situations are typically related to attempts by multiple voting from one number or the other attempts to circumvent the verification.
That is, the results on the website are displayed in 4 stages: the first takes into account all the cast for half of the day to vote, then they are published on the website, which separately conducts a reconciliation, finds the failure of the operator and a re-vote from the same number, subtract them from the result in the same graph enter the adjusted figure. Which may be more or less of the previous result — a respectable audience is invited to relate to these fluctuations philosophically.
Well be the effect of this detective unfolded somewhere in the taiga Zaimka in 1996, when few people in Russia heard about the Internet voting and SMS verification. It takes place in Moscow in September 2016. The number of Internet users in the country under 90миллионов and existing mobile contracts — more than the residents. On all TV channels and radio stations spoken continuously held a vote and the charity event taking into account the participants according to the method of SMS verification, displaying of the recorded votes in real time. All mobile operators apply the system of registration of votes cast by SMS, and there is no culling algorithm results the next day. Because there is no useful application of such algorithms: expensive egg to the day of Christ.
Obviously, the only reasonable explanation for the phenomenon of twisted voices — the very thing which is thought of in the municipality of Sochi. There is just a technical service of the Central Bank’s website some specially trained officer who is busy “improving” the voting results. Why he does it, and what is put before them the ultimate goal — I can’t guess. What he did not hit the city of Sochi, I have no idea. You can, of course, to suggest that the design of banknotes has been ordered, developed and approved by the high command, and the attraction of voting started in hindsight for the blind. But even this logical assumption could not explain why everything is done so clumsy and stupid.
It’s amazing the extent to which the same rake fall under the feet of our officials every time they make a “national will”. Elections can be held without boxes, and without the electoral Commission, without independent observers and without agitation — but it is definitely somewhere near the polling station should shuffling man with a file responsible for the “correctness” of the final numbers. And man this is why some must be so inept that every new vote brought their memes about another 146%. I wonder what they have for this reason blank on the 18th.
