Independent politician Yekaterina Duntsova wanted to run on a platform to end the war with Ukraine.

But the electoral commission voted unanimously to reject her candidacy three days after her application, citing 100 “mistakes” on her form.

Ms Duntsova said she would appeal the decision at the Supreme Court.

The commission said 29 people have so far filed to run for the presidency. But after today’s decision, Mr Putin remains the only candidate to be able to register as a candidate.

    I wonder what it’s like to live in a country where one group tries to take the opposition off the ballot?

      What a disingenuous comparison. This woman didn’t start an insurrection. This is like if Putin had prevented Prigozhin from running, which he would have been completely in his rights to.

      I wonder what it’s like to live in a country where a bunch of idiots can’t see what a traitorous bastard their favorite fat ass bumbling bitch of a candidate is.

        Oh they know. They still wave the flag of another failed attempt to split the nation. They’re all traitorous bastards.

      What does the 14th amendment say? Why can’t Arnold be President? We have rules and laws.

        Yeah, Arnold isn’t a natural born citizen. He probably wouldn’t be bad, but the last actor to be president fucked the country so bad it should be an excluded class anyway.

          Interestingly both Ronny and Arnold were governors of the same state.

          Arnold got term limited but its questionable if he could have won a third term even if he could run since his approval rating was in the shitter by the time he left office.

      I wonder what it’s like to support a candidate who disqualifies himself by violating the Constitution he once swore to uphold?

      The orange insurrectionist fucked around. Let him find out.

      Hey, we could be like Russia in other ways and let a criminal run for president repeatedly.
