There is strong evidence for widespread vote manipulation in the 2011 Russian elections. While much of the press has focused on reports of voter fraud in large metropolitan areas,9 this analysis indicates that fraud may have occurred on a ever-wider scale in other areas. It is difficult to quantitatively estimate how much fraud occurred, but a simple estimate would be to see how many less ballots would have been cast for United Russia if the 20% of polling stations with the highest turnout voted along the same lines as the others. In this case United Russia would have received 3.54 million fewer votes. samarcandanalytics/?page_id=39
