"Steal this Election" in the Ukraine
This sounds familiar:
KIEV, Ukraine -- With nearly all the ballots [for Ukraine Prime Minister] counted by Monday evening, the election commission said Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovych had a slim lead over challenger Viktor Yushchenko . . . [but] An exit poll, conducted under a Western-funded program, gave Yushchenko 54 percent of the vote to Yanukovych's 43 percent. Another poll put Yushchenko ahead by 49.4 to 45.9 percent . . .But this doesn't:
Opposition supporters camped out on the streets of Kiev . . . Yushchenko, addressing a crowd of about 10,000 supporters in Kiev's main Independence Square, urged them to set up tent camps in the capital. "We will not leave this place until we win," Yushchenko said. "The people's will cannot be broken. People's votes cannot be broken.Link
