It's pretty funny, they really can't decide whether the narrative is supposed to be that Orban is guaranteed to lose, or Orban is going to win but it's due to corruption and cheating. Seems like the election isn't as much of a foregone conclusion as people who hate him wish it was.
Not only Russia. Trump too.
They're all in cahoots. Christian nationalists authoritarians are on the rise with their mad ideas and want everyone to toe the line. Of course it's also an excuse to fill up their pockets. It's nothing new. The Nazis did it first. Under their veneer of Riefenstahlrallies and Ubermensch Germanic supremacy, there was a deeply corrupt and incompetent government of stupid small-minded men.
Pretty much yeah. Orbàn isn't domestically popular enough to cinch out a win anymore. That was last true more than a year ago. The most Orbàn-leaning of the independent pollsters gives him a 20% chance to form a minority government, and 0% at a majority one. Yet you can bet your ass that Orbán will attempt every level of electoral fraud and intimidation, available to a party that has been ruling by decree by law for the last 6 years. And has been in power for 16. And it's not hard to see why, because they've used every method available to them all those years, they are now just more desperate.

> Local mayors exercise an iron grip over daily lives, providing work, firewood, transport to polling stations and, in one case, even access to medicine, in exchange for the "correct" vote on election day, according to claims made in the film.
