On November 6, 2012, conservative lawyer G. Kline Preston observed voting at the polls in Nashville, Tennessee with guest Alexander Torshin, a United Russia Senator, and Russian diplomat Igor Mateev. Torshin was allowed to inspect electronic voting machines and election queues. Both Preston and Torshin claimed they witnessed violations of U.S. law. While in Tennessee, Torshin also met with Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn (R-TN-7th) in her home county, Williamson County. Preston was still working on Blackburn’s political campaigns at the time. |
