it's becoming clear there were two main scams in operation
I've been seeing the selfsame pattern in a number of elections over the past six months. Unfortunately, they were being held in Zimbabwe and the Central Asian republics. In Kyrgyzstan, for example, voters were being turned away from polling stations because someone had alleged they were Uzbek citizens, and no amount of waving Kyrgyz identity papers would dissuade the officials.

Of course, the Kyrgyz later revolted...
