Lukashenko gets 80% in every election. Hmmm...

However, his latest significant Presidential campaign opponent was Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, a former English teacher and interpreter. It was her husband Sergei with the rep as a blogger. He was arrested & jailed, precluding a run by him for Pres.

My guess is that Mrs. Tsikhanouskaya was accepted by the opposition on the basis that maybe the state police would not beat her up and arrest her. Not that such is a qualification to be president of even a pickle republic like Belarus.

80% is far off, but I am sure he would have won fair. If not 50%+,it was 100% above any opposition.

Not sure Americans are in any position to point fingers at other countries regarding election irregularities as there seems to be a long tradition of election rigging right here in the United States.
