Publicly Available Russian Election Results Hint At Fraud

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."

Russians are on the street protesting.
Americans are on the street protesting.

The middle east is on the street protesting.

Dose anyone know a place where people are actually happy with their government?

Iceland - they nationalised the banks and told the IMF to fuck off.

They devalued their currency, and their economy is now growing.

The President and Prime Minister are very popular.

Not really much point in an offtopic response to such an obvious partisan hack, but...

Did you even read the story? He's talking about how when he was in 8th grade, he wasn't a good student precisely because he liked basketball more than anything else. He implies that ethics was, in fact, more important than basketball but because he wasn't a very good student he couldn't appreciate it at the time.

But whatever. Go on trashing him over stupid shit like this instead of his actual policies, because you know, it's *so* productive to bitch and moan about what our presidents used to do as students.
