electoral fraud

A weekend of protests in Russia has forced President Dmitry Medvedev to order an investigation into allegations of electoral fraud during last week's parliamentary vote.

There hasn't been demonstrations like this in Russia since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

State Rep. Nathan Macias lost his primary last month to former New Braunfels mayor Doug Miller by a mere 17 votes.

After a recount and lots of public warnings about electoral fraud, Macias’ legal team — including his own committee clerk, a state employee — filed suit.

Among the charges: that a significant number of people voted more than once.
