1. My question.

Maybe it has been answered already and I just haven't followed it closely enough to pick it up.

Do the protesters have solid evidence of election fraud/rigging/whatever?

3. Yes. The election has been universally dismissed as fraudulent.

Well, universally except by trump and his dictator friends. trump has been largely silent on Belarus. It was another one of those "reelected by 90%" charades. That's something trump drools (or soils himself) over.

DIY political corruption; Belarus style. Election officials simply passing sacks of votes out the back window and down the ladder.

Seems like too many people voted for Tikhanovskaya already. The number of ballots doesn't add up because of early vote rigging. Police had to bring a ladder and commission members are climbing out of polling station with full bags

7. WTF?

If police brought the ladder are they in on it? Or could it be something like escaping a fire? Weird.

Replying to @TadeuszGiczan
are you 100% about the reason behind? why would anybody climb when there is the police helping them? why not use the main door?
