      Nah, it means that an arbitrary number was chosen to make it seem like there was competition on the ballot. A happy little math error.

      You know, kinda like back in the day when Boris Yeltsin got 1 million votes from Chechnya even tho the war he himself instigated left the voting-eligible population at around 500k. Reportedly, exactly 70.0% out of those 500,000 voted for Yeltsin, and 70% of 500k is about a million because math.
