There was a video showing ballot stuffing in Russia's election.
This Republican move seems to be an effort to emulate that election.
Source?
From the previous Russian election: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F9E1zI-vBEQ
Apparently the results from that poling station were annulled and the members of that local election commission were fired. Not sure this is proof of any widespread voter fraud in Russia.

edit: also getting down voted for asking for a source is hilarious 🤣
Were they fired for stuffing the ballot boxes, or fired for getting caught?
How about the continued election tallies claiming 80%-90% voted for Putin? That seems like a major red flag
A big red flag with a gold hammer crossed with a gold sickle
Even if it isn't, Putin "winning" 88% of the vote after eliminating all rivals one way or the other certainly doesn't indicate a free and fair election.
Shilling for Russia and pretending their elections are transplant with fraud and completely rigged is why you're getting downvoted
Nah, you're getting downvoted because you think there's no voter fraud in russia.
Ignorance is bliss, I suppose.
Yeah throwing out votes because someone poisoned the ballot box is way better.
