Svetlana Kolobaeva and Viktoria Bobrovskaya were caught on camera stuffing ballot boxes with pre-marked voting slips during Sunday’s Russian election. The 'highly-respected' educators were acting as polling station officials when the fraud took place. Later, all ballots from the station were nullified because of the abuse, confirmed Irina Konovalova, the chairman of the Moscow Regional Election Commission. Both women are teachers at school number five in the Moscow suburb of Lyubertsy. They were banned from future election counts but will keep their teaching jobs. They were identified amid concern that volunteer election staff all over Russian came under similar pressure to get the “right result” for Putin in their districts.
