But it was not. Stu Savory's blog had this picture of Russian election returns from the Rostov Oblast:
Add them all up and you have the vote totals of 146% of ballots cast.
Mayor Daley and Ken Blackwell would have been proud.
(Yes, I know, Blackwell's fraud went the other way, by reducing the 2004 vote total in Ohio by over a quarter of a million, but the point stands.)

Heh, yeah, I had that screenshot on my own blog back on the 5th. Who woulda thunk that Chicago economists re-designing Russia's economy for the oligarchs would have led to Chicago politics being the rule? :).
I especially like the expression on the news reader's face. She's, like, "And the results are... wha? That doesn't add up! WTF do I say now, that won't get me fired or killed or both?!" It's an expression of surprise, dismay, shock, and fear if I've ever seen one...
