The United States on Sunday urged Russia to investigate claims of election day violations, after partial results showed President Vladimir Putin's United Russia party had won 63.6 percent of the vote. "Early reports from Russia include allegations of election day violations. We urge Russian authorities to investigate these claims," said White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe.
The Russian opposition has vowed to challenge what it said were widespread vote violations after early official results showed Putin's United Russia Party had won a huge majority in Sunday's parliamentary polls.
Nice, another urging from the white house, just like the urge terrorists to quit bombing Israel, and urge Iran to quit killing our soldiers in Iraq.
US urges fox to probe chicken roost violations.
Might as well urge the Vatican to investigate the shortages of Sacristy wine...rediculous waste of time...makes the U.S. out to be a bunch stupid jerks...jerks is as jerks does!!
The vote is probably legitimate - a significant portion of the Russian population still yearns for a return to the days of Stalin!
