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."

Your partisan rants and militant left blatherings are truly disgusting.

Never mind that there is no fraud.

From [http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/politics/10118-fox-forged-signatures-on-2008-petition-to-put-obama-on-ballot-in-indiana]

Ryan Nees, a college student who interned at the Obama White House and who supports the President’s reelection, discovered the fraud. Fox News explained what Nees found:

Nees' investigation centered on the petitions that put then-senators Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton on the ballot. As many as 150 of the signatures, it is alleged, were faked. So many, in fact, that the numbers raise questions about whether Obama's campaign had enough legitimate signatures to qualify for a spot on the ballot.

Nees himself commented,

This fraud was obvious, far-reaching and appeared to be systemic. What seems to have happened is that a variety of people in northern Indiana knew that this fraud occurred, and actively participated and perpetuated the fraud, and did so on behalf of two presidential campaigns.

But hey, why let facts get in the way of your agenda promoting propaganda campaign ?

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.
