Putin Wins Russian Elections

Vladimir Putin won the Russian Presidency collecting roughly 60% of the vote, 40% more than his closest opponent. Opponents of Putin have claimed he tampered with voting using a technique called "Carousel voting" where certain voters are bused from polling station to polling station to vote for one candidate, in this case, Putin. The overall turnout was reported to be "much higher" than in 2008, where Putin did not run for president due to term limitations. (He ran for Prime Minister that year, the post he holds today.)
