Who Would Have Thought
The police in Russia are going all NYPD on protestors of the recent legislative elections and claims of fraud. Now the BBC reports that Russia protests: Gorbachev calls for election re-run.
OK, so there might have been some problems. Badtux has a screen shot of some of the returns:
In the Rostov District
- United Russia 58.99%
- Communist Party RF 32.96%
- Liberal Democratic Party 23.74%
- A Just Russia 19.41%
- Apple [Russian United Democratic Party] 9.32%
- Patriots of Russia 1.46%
- Right Cause .59%
Gee, I wonder why people suspect fraud? It might just be rounding errors. [/snark]
