A simple question.  Was this a fair and honest election, or is Putin better than Bush at rigging elections?

Chechnya votes 99.4pc for Putin
Reuters | Monday, 03 December 2007

The Chechnya region, once the Kremlin's biggest headache, has turned into President Vladimir Putin's most enthusiastic supporter giving his party 99.4 per cent in Russia's election, according to official results.

Fair and honest elections?

в советской России?

I doubt it, The Chechens don't even want to be part of russia, much less vote for a hard line candidate...

I think Putin was actually elected fair and square, although I really doubt that the true % was that high.  Maybe they only rigged the reporting rather than the election, because 99.4% is pretty hard to believe in any election.

It sounds odd to those of us in the West, but Putin is actually very popular in most of Russia.  Granted, that also shows you how desperate Russians are right now and how poorly educated they are about their own government.

That's the only explanation I see.

Yeah, the election results are surprising, real surprising.


Given what Putin did to the other parties, various protests and the media before the election.
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
