Exit polls Show Putin Wins Russia's Presidential Election Amid Allegations of Violations in Election Published March 04, 2012 | March 3: Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin speaks at an award presentation ceremony for achievements in culture in Moscow. MOSCOW – Exit polls cited by state television say Vladimir Putin has won Russia's presidential election, which the opposition and independent observers say has been marred by widespread violations.

Putin tallied 59 percent of Sunday's vote, according to a nationwide exit poll conducted by the VTsIOM polling agency for Channel one television.

Another exit poll done by the FOM polling agency for Rossiya TV showed Putin received 58 percent of the ballot.

Communist Party candidate Gennady Zyuganov, got support of some 18 percent, according to the survey, and the others -- nationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, socialist Sergei Mironov and billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov -- were in single digits.

Opposition leaders and Russian observers said Sunday they are seeing widespread violations in elections that are expected to return Vladimir Putin to the Kremlin.

If confirmed, claims of violations could undermine the legitimacy of Putin's victory and help fuel opposition protests.

The independent elections watchdog agency Golos said it was receiving reports of so-called "carousel voting," in which busloads of voters are driven around to cast ballots multiple times.

"There have been many people voting more than once, driven around in buses in large numbers" in Moscow, said Golos head Lilia Shibanova, who said similar reports had been received from Novosibirsk, Russia's third-largest city, and the city of Barnaul in southern Siberia.

Carousel voting? That's call the "Romni-bus system" in America!

Obama is taking notes. He can’t win a fair election in November, but he and his Marxist allies will do everything they can to cheat and steal it. I hope the idiots who run the GOP are prepared.

[DIRTYSECRET]

This one is on the voters.I The voters over there are as naive as those of us who think Romney is a conservative.

“There have been many people voting more than once, driven around in buses in large numbers”

[Carriage Hill]

Wow, they took a page out of the democrat handbook.

[Carriage Hill]

I think Stalin & Lenin invented it; it was the lib-dem trash who stole it from them.

In other news, GOP establishment engineers Willard Romney nomination despite the urgent remonstrations of its own activist base.

I hope Pootie-Poot remembered to send absentee ballots to the cemetary.

[2111USMC]

Even if there were “violations”, his next closest rival is at 18% versus his 60%. That’s a pretty wide spread.

I’m not a Putin supporter but at least he’s not a weak-kneed phoney country hating SOB like our resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

“Exit polls cited by state television...”

If it is anything like the old Soviet exit polls there are the only place on earth that can be done the week before the election. The outcome is never uncertain.

[Ooh-Ah]

AND, tell me:

WHAT would YOU tell an exit pollster if you were in Russia?!!!

I bet his margin will be a lot less than what the exit polls are showing, unless of course they adjust the vote even more!

[GeronL]

well, whats the point in counting now that the state run media has called it?

[Las Vegas Ron]

Now there is a surprise.
