«The congressional elections that took place on November 8 were not as scandalous and rigged as the election of President Joe Biden in 2020, but once again revealed the (shortcomings) of the archaic American electoral system,» the politician said at a plenary meeting of the Federation Council on Wednesday.< br>According to him, it is clear that the Democrats are losing control of the House of Representatives, but keep the Senate.

Moreover, neither Republicans nor Democrats trust the results and doubt the legitimacy of the election process, Karasin said.
br>»As for the presidential election marathon in the United States in 2024, which, in fact, has already grown old, we will analyze the oddities characteristic of the so-called» underdeveloped democracies according to the criteria of the collective West and the OSCE controlled by it, such as dead candidates, ballot stuffing, malfunctioning machines for voting,” said the head of the Federation Council Committee.
Following the results of the elections to the US Congress, observers noted violations, including voting machines not working at a number of polling stations.
