Publicly Available Russian Election Results Hint At Fraud

Posted by timothy on from the or-could-just-be-a-coincidence dept.

gotfork writes "As some Russians protest the results of the recent election, several commentators (Russian), have started looking at the results which are posted to the election commission web site and there's very strong evidence of fraud. Voter turnout correlates strongly with percent voting for the ruling party, United Russia, and there are a lot of polling stations with nearly 100% turnout and 100% voting for United Russia in some unusual places. The raw data is posted so you can do your own analysis."

    Yes, yes. But 100% turnout from places that range from Apathetic to outright hatred of his Regime, and a majority vote for him? That's an entirely different level of bullshit than what Scott Walker could accomplish.

    Russians are on the street protesting.
    Americans are on the street protesting.
    Europeans are on the street protesting.
    The middle east is on the street protesting.
    Africa is on the street protesting.
    Dose anyone know a place where people are actually happy with their government?

    1. false equivalency. The fraud involved there is quantitatively and qualitatively worse.
    2. irrelevant. Illegal and immoral behavior in one country does not make it OK in another.
