Current Events: Ukraine Votes Again

Alrighty, the elections are under way in Ukraine for the third time in eight weeks. The first election had no candidate with enough votes to meet the requirements, so they had a runoff with the top two. Western-supporting Yushchenko won the exit polls, but the corrupted government said Russian-backed Yanukovych won (Yush was also poisioned). After much protest and debate, they're having a re-election today, December 26.

Once again, exit polls have Yushchenko winning. We'll have to wait til the polls close to see if the bad guys try to mix things up again. I'm rooting for Yush.
