Russia's ''webcam'' presidential election day

Interesting efforts to avoid the duma election disaster. Installment of webcams all across the polling stations and, citizent observers. Will this be enough to avoid another election disaster? Atleast it shows of the brilliance of Kremlin, quite innovative attempt to appease the opposition. This massive investment of innovations shows that Kremlin is taking the opposition very seriously, indeed.

Fair elections or not this is an astonishing transparency innovation by any standards. However I am worried that polling webcams could be used as a two edge sword.

The elections can be monitored over webcams here: Click

Sample from the site.





President Medvedev and his wife are casting their vote in the 4th of March 2012 Presidential election.

...for entertainment value I wonder how many videos like these there are. ''Disco before the election'' - Party polling station.
