38. So new to the forum

Sun May 25, 2014, 04:08 PM

May 2014

And spewing so much in such a short time.

No one here is wishing for a civil war. So the entire west of the country is just Nazi's trying to to kill and suppress the east. Yes there was a large turnout in several cities in the east. There was also ballot stuffing no controls over ballots, pre-filled out ballots seized. No international observers. reporters barred from polling places or having a minder assigned. A vaguely worded question for the vote. And the polls showed a very different result

Many questions on that vote

Today's vote
Free and open in most of the country, international observers welcomed. Much better ballot security. Reporters free to record and observer voting. Polls seemed to match the outcome. Even with the threats to voters and voting officials in the and the forced closing and destruction of voting locations in some eastern cities.

I think I would recognize today's vote as free and fair as opposed to the sham.
