Azerbaijan releases election results...before election
CNBC ^ | 10 Oct 2013 | Matt Clinch

Posted on 10/10/2013 2:41:43 PM PDT by JerseyanExile

Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev was elected to serve a third term on Wednesday evening but voting was marred by local media reports that suggested the results were released even before the polls opened. With counting soon to be completed, election officials said last night that Aliyev was one course to receive nearly 85 percent of the votes, with opposition candidate Jamil Hasanly receiving 5 percent.

However, 24 hours beforehand, local media outlet Meydan TV reported that the results were accidentally pre-announced by the Central Election Commission of Azerbaijan using a new mobile phone application that the organization has introduced.

Users that downloaded this app were told on Tuesday - the day before the polls opened- that Ilham Aliyev had 72.76 percent of the votes and Jamil Hasanly had 7.4 percent, according to Meydan TV.

With the new DOJ voter fraud mechanisms, it should be possible to project elections years into the future. Then you only have to show up at a polling place if you agree with the outcome!

Obamefficiency!

Those foolish enough to show up with buttons or attitudes indicative that they would rather contest the outcome will be politely but firmly turned away. If they come back, they will be treated even more firmly.

But of course-—It’s the Obamuzzie model. No need for all that cumbersome vote counting, signature checking etc. The ignauguaration ball invites are surely printed and ready to go also.

Vladimir Putin has taught the leaders in the puppet states surrounding his country his tactics on “winning” elections.
