Second Ukrainian Election: Results Reversed in a Blowout for the Liberal

Elections-Elected Europe

Exit polls predict a 15% margin for Yushchenko, but at this point with 10% of the vote counted he leads by an astonishing 25%. The first election was a nail-biter, and now a month later it’s total blowout. Last time the ’conservative’ won by a hair, but this time with more scrutiny making the fraud impossible, the ’liberal’ won in a landslide- imagine that.

Official Results:

Opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko headed toward victory in a re-run
of Ukraine’s rigged presidential election on Sunday, with exit polls
and early results giving him a healthy lead.

In Ukraine, 37.17 million people out of a population of about 47
million were registered to vote in the election, which pitted
Yushchenko against Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich.

Following are the official results so far, compiled from information provided by Ukraine’s Central Election Commission.

Votes counted 10.57%
Yushchenko  61.27%
Yanukovich  35.32%
Turnout 77.68%

    you can hand write in the date and time before taking it to kinkos... or use an image editor to insert your own text, if you don’t have one, install ’the gimp’ - like adobe photoshop, but free.

  • That’s the point, the bush disciples are too scared of their own shadows, never mind a new election. The kerrycrats are too scared of the bush disciples, so what we have are a bunch of cowards running this country, while our kids fight wars for profits they’ll never see.

    This is the beginning of the end for the American empire and the birth of WWIII.

    Bring it on.

  • Isn’t it ironic that exit polls are trusted as being correct in the Ukraine, but not here in the U.S....at least not in the states where there wasn’t a paper trail for the ballots!

  • this early lead was closed to end 52-44%.

    in 2000 Gore led florida, but Bush steadily closed and won
    in 2004 Kerry led Ohio and Florida, but as the night wore on Bush steadily closed and won

    but no doubt that to suggest it’s anything more than coincidence is clearly outrageous and will not be tolerated.

  • I’m surprised by the lack of attention the mainstream media and U.S. government put into publicizing the results of the election. I went looking for information on the details of the election. Unfortunately, all I have found so far is a percentage listing for the candidates. I would have been interested in seeing the entire region done on a map as they do here in the United States. After all the results are in, we generally get a good look at how the various precincts and counties throughout have voted. I’m interested in hearing from anyone who does have said information.
