Putin is back

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/blog/2012/mar/04/russian-presidential-election-live-blog

7.42pm: Russia's Central Election Commission has now counted up 40% of all votes. Putin is on 64%. The figure seems to be gradually going up.

Golos, the independent election watchdog, has been tallying up its own figures based on polling stations attended by its observers. These show Putin on 55% – still comfortably above the 50% threshold needed to avoid a run-off.
