Russia’s foreign ministry has said outdated legislation and a lack of regulation had revealed flaws in the US electoral system, as votes were being tallied to decide the next American president, AFP reported.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that both candidates had an equal chance of winning and pointed out “obvious shortcomings in the American electoral system.”
“This is partly due to the archaic nature of the relevant legislation and a lack of regulation in a number of fundamental points,” she said during her weekly press briefing.
