В тестовом голосовании в Москве накануне выборов президента приняли участие 716 тысяч человек. На протяжени процедуры систему подвергали беспрецедентно высокой нагрузке и кибератакам, сообщается на сайте столичного Общественного штаба по наблюдению за выборами.

“В первые же минуты система столкнулась со сверхвысоким трафиком, когда одновременно проголосовать пытались десятки тысяч человек, а также подверглась массированным, многопрофильным кибератакам, которые длились до окончания тестирования”, – рассказал глава управления по совершенствованию территориального управления и развитию смарт-проектов правительства Москвы Артем Костырко.

По его словам, все атаки отражены, система справилась с высокой нагрузкой. Проголосовать смог каждый избиратель, подчеркнул Костырко.

В период наиболее высокой нагрузки система электронного голосования и некоторые разделы сайта mos.ru функционировали в режиме электронной очереди. Это позволило равномерно распределить нагрузку и дать возможность проголосовать каждому.

Во время тестового голосования москвичи ответили на вопрос: “Нужно ли вырубать тополя в Москве, чтобы избавиться от тополиного пуха?”. Утвердительный ответ лидировал с небольшим отрывом.

Выборы президента России состоятся 15-17 марта. Проголосовать дистанционно можно будет с 08:00 15 марта до 20:00 17 марта. Для участия в онлайн-выборах нужна постоянная регистрация в Москве и полная учетная запись на портале mos.ru.

A suspect has been arrested for the killing of Rebekah Byler, a 26-year-old Amish woman who was six months pregnant at the time of her slaying.

Shawn Cranston was taken into custody in the early hours of Saturday morning, Pennsylvania State Police said in a news release. He was arraigned just after 4:30 a.m. on charges including criminal homicide, criminal homicide of unborn child, burglary, and criminal trespass, WJET reported.

Authorities provided few other details, including what evidence triggered the arrest. It follows an exhaustive five-day investigation, launched after authorities discovered Byer dead inside her home in Sparta Township, some 30 miles southeast of Erie. Police responded to the residence after Byler’s husband and a friend found her on lying her back and unresponsive, and then phoned 911.

Police said Byler suffered fatal wounds to her head and neck, though the official cause of death has not been released.

The grisly violence earlier this week rocked  the rural Amish community in northwestern Pennsylvania, who restrict the use of technology and are known for their traditional clothing. Those living in the area have noted the religious group gets on well and co-exists alongside others who do not share their beliefs.

“Everyone is stunned — this doesn’t happen here,” Charleen Hajec, a pharmacist who was born and raised in Spartansburg, told ABC News. “Everyone is talking. It’s scary and frustrating.”

Hajec added that their “tight-knit community” is still struggling to recover and process what had happened to Byler.

“The outside world doesn’t get in,” Hajec said. “To have something this tragic … it doesn’t happen here.”

Cranston was being held without bond at the Crawford County Jail. His preliminary hearing is set for March 15.
