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."

It takes Russia a longtime to catch up. Now they are finally equal to the US in 2000.

They're still years away from equaling the US. They may have figured out election fraud, but we hide it much better here. Not completely, but much better.

I keep waiting for the day the GOP has their IPO on the NYSE. Might as well just get it all out there in the open and stop mucking about, begging corporate money for favours.
