Across the Pond - Russia



 
Putin won the Presidency.  Frankly, no-one's shocked.
From the outset it was clear he had the outcome locked.
Previous elections (it's alleged) the vote was rigged.
Ballot boxes stuffed with votes until some people twigged

 To the plot and filmed the deed... Then posted it on line
Leading to some angry calls that Parliament resign.
So began the protests that have flooded Moscow's streets.
This time they had cameras to make sure no-one cheats.

Problem is that activist observers now suspect
Putin cheated in a way much harder to detect.
They say people went from place to place to place to vote.
They intend to prove it...  Glad that I'm not in their boat.
