Russias democracy is the best in the world, the kremlin says. And at Polling Station 38 in moscow, we found a choice of candidates and plenty of voters. Democracy in action, right . Not quite. Realistically, only one man can win this. Vladimir putin the man whos been on russias political stage for the last quarter of a century. Vladimir putin faces no serious challenger. His fiercest rivals are in exile or in prison. Not that this woman, whose son is fighting in ukraine, wants any change at the top. Of course i voted for putin, she says. I trust him.

But you cant break the law, which is what this indictment alleges. What was the ill tell you what the indictment says. The indictment says that he attempted to cause actions like approving fake electors, Opening Sham Fraud Investigations and obstructing the certification of the lelection. Whether he can prove that, thats going to happen in the trial. Im just saying whats in the indictment. Let me take the first thing, the question about electors.
