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."

As opposed to 2000 and 2004 when President Bush was "elected" before the ballots were completely counted. Or 2005 when the Georgia Governor's race was given to the GOP candidate after a set of mysterious patches were applied by Diebold to voting machines in Democrat leaning districts.

Political corruption is as old as politics itself, acting like it's a Chicago invention is just another 'conservative' trying to make a back handed comment about President Obama's legitimacy,

Not his legitimacy, something much more important his moral fiber. It's hard to believe anyone could come up in such a tainted political environment and not be involved or at a minimum be aware of the corruption. This leaves one of three explanations either Obama was part of the corruption (see Michael Obama's raise just after he became a senator), or he knew about the corruption and was complicit because he did nothing to stop it, or he was so foolish that all the corruption swirled around him and he failed to notice it. That is what the Chicago corruption implies that he either in not competent enough do his job do to either his lack of morals or lack of intelligence to see the corruption.
