They don’t need to lie. Votes are anonymous. A lot of people work for the government companies, like school teachers, doctors, etc. They get rounded up, loaded into buses and given pre-filled ballots. Then the bus travels around polling stations, all these people are forced to go and drop pre-filled ballots. They do that all day long or else. And then you have Putin win with 146% of votes.
