By your definition if someone YOU liked won then it would have been democratic but if someone YOU DON't LIKE Wins it isn't? Ergo Putin.
In Ukraine there was a law passed that prohibited the elderly to vote by absentee ballot just prior dec 31st to limit the amount of people who would be able to cast their vote in the east. It effected a huge number of people over 2 million. Also intimidation of Yanukovich supporters in the east and publishing of their names on doors of local gov't centers to show those that "betray" their country dissuade them from voting in order to not be prosecuted.
(P.S. I m still waiting for the succession to occur.)
I meant to say west in the publishing of names upon doors of local gov't centers. in the previous post.
