Funny story about the Tambov region
A separate funny story about the Tambov region.
Do you see the horizontal dashes on the turnout of 85-90% and the result of about 30%?
Governor Nikitin's result directly even resembles the cluster of the city of Tambov. One could be happy, but this result is a draw. If you look closely, it also has a non-standard order of candidates: it's not Zhidkov, but Telegin who comes in second place.
These precincts are from the Rasskazovo City TEC, and gubernatorial candidate Igor Telegin is a Rasskazovo businessman and head of the LDPR faction in the regional Duma. In 13 out of 19 polling stations of this TEC, the results of all candidates are obtained by multiplying the number of valid ballots by simple coefficients (and, it seems, Governor Nikitin was given the remainder, adding up rounding errors). And on the other six - they drew for Nikitin, what is there. And, for example, precincts 546 and 547 are in the same school. Also a task for sociologists, no?
