Vladimir Putin "won" the election for the presidency of Russia. Although nobody seriously disputes that Putin would have likely won in an honest election, his minions couldn't resist the impulse to rig the election.

Ya, independent pollsters doing exit polls say Putin won with about 55% of the vote, but you know how it goes. You're a secret policeman, you rig the vote out of habit, even if ya don't need to...
