The US presidential election showed obvious flaws in the country's electoral system, said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. She criticized the US elections at a briefing on Thursday, November 5, RIA Novosti reports.
According to Zakharova, both international observers and recognized experts have repeatedly pointed out the shortcomings of the system. “This is partly due to the archaic nature of the relevant legislation and the lack of regulation in it a number of fundamental points, which we have spoken about more than once,” the diplomat said.
In the United States, the counting of votes for candidates for the presidency of the country continues. The current head of state, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden are fighting for the top post. In many states, the difference between presidential contenders is tenths of a percent.
Trump said that he suspects the enemy of rigging the votes, and demanded that they stop counting in one of the states. Both candidates created special funds to fight for the purity of the electoral procedure.
