Russia election chief recommends invalidating 'rigged' vote

Moscow (AFP) - Russia's election commission on Wednesday recommended re-running a key regional poll, an unprecedented move triggered by claims of vote-rigging in favour of a candidate backed by Vladimir Putin.

If the results of a runoff governorship vote in Russia's Far East are declared invalid because of multiple irregularities, it would likely be the first such case in the history of modern Russia.

The crisis erupted in the Far Eastern region of Primorsky Krai where an opposition candidate accused a ruling party representative endorsed by Putin of "stealing" his victory in the vote last Sunday.

I confess to shock. Now if they can avoid arrest or death it will really be something.

How about that.

Definitely. You'd have to have nerves made of adamantium to make such an accusation against Putin. Bravo, though, because even just having the thought of challenging the results couldn't be easy.

Ah, that’s cute. They think they are a democracy.

A lot of countries believe themselves to be so.
