78. Oh yes there was

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/20...

"They started to beat voters and election officials, trying to push through towards the ballot boxes," he told The Telegraph.

"People's faces were cut from blows to the head. There was blood all over."

...

Maya Syta, a journalist working at polling station 73 in a Kiev suburb, witnessed ballot papers destroyed with acid poured into a ballot box. "The officials were taking them out of the box and they couldn't understand why they were wet," she said.

"Then I saw they started to blacken and disintegrate as if they were burning. Two ballots were wrapped up into a tube with a yellow liquid inside. After a few moments they were completely eaten up."

...

The most common trick was "carousel" voting, in which busloads of Yanukovich supporters simply drove from one polling station to another casting multiple false absentee ballots.

In another brazen fraud recorded by observers from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, voters were given pens filled with ink that disappeared, leaving ballots unmarked and invalid.

=====================

When you can come up with something that happened in the United States that even approaches some of the above events, please tell us. Otherwise stop the propaganda about how Ukrainian elections were contested because of the exit polls there. The exit polls were a tiny corroborative corner of the mountain of hard proof of fraud - something that is completely lacking in the US.
