They were a little less subtle over there, though. I don't have an official source to cite, but I heard that in parts of the country 99% of the voters supposedly showed up, and according to the first results, 96% of the votes went to Yanukovych. There was lots of really blatant fraud - Yushchenko voters getting harassed (this isn't just a rumor, it was caught on camera), full voting boxes being carried into voting booths, voting ballots literally being copied, Yanukovych voters getting driven from one district to another by bus to vote multiple times. It's pretty crazy. I imagine either Yanukovych's party was really worried of losing and pulled in an incredible effort to cheat, or they were just very disorganized and had groups of people everywhere committing fraud without direction. I mean, people might've believed a victory with 60% or 70%, but 96?
