At Precinct 451, members of the local electoral commission set about counting a pile of glistening white ballots. “Putin, Putin, Putin,” they muttered. “Good, more Putin.”Vladimir V. Putin did well in Chechnya, a place that he virtually declared war on after becoming president in 1999, and whose people have suffered grievous human rights abuses at the hands of Russian security forces. The final tally: Putin, 1,482 votes; Gennady A. Zyuganov, the Communist Party leader, one vote.This result was in itself statistically improbable. But even more difficult for the teachers who had been drafted onto the electoral commission to explain was the turnout: there were only 1,389 people registered in the precinct, meaning that the turnout was 107 percent.“Look, something is not adding up here,” said Milana Atlanova, the head of the commission, growing increasingly confused.Analysts of Russian elections say the North Caucasus region is a place where violations of election law are uniquely brazen, from a combination of top-down pressure, cultural factors and, in Chechnya, a fearful milieu of police intimidation.
It takes a lot of gull to be this blatant about it.
Uh... Chechnya probably hates him more than the Ukrainians do. And that's saying a lot if I do say so myself as someone who hates his guts and knows many other Ukrainians who do as well. Way to have another fraudulent vote, Putin. Ya slimy prick.

By chance can you get me a MI-24 Hind attack helicopter? It's my life goal to own one(and many other military vehicles, but that one especially). I hear there are a few sitting around in Pripyat...
There are very few problems that cannot be solved with a good taint punching.

Yeah, gays cause hurricanes, tits cause earthquakes, and lack of prayer causes tornadoes. Learn to science, people.
Porn peddlers peddling pedal porn? My life is complete.
Didn't even bother to count how many fake votes they cast. Call me crazy but I don't think that particular region is all too fond of the man.
