Third of Zimbabwe registered voters dead

Third of Zimbabwe registered voters dead: "Nearly one-third of Zimbabwe's registered voters are dead, and others appear to be babies or up to 120-years-old, researchers say, calling for the list to be overhauled so that the upcoming election cannot be rigged."

Just when we thought it can't get worse? Vote rigging at it's best.. or rather at it's worse, depending on how you look at it.

For a start, Mugabe is geting away with it (he is still the President). The fact that the rigging of votes gets done so blatantly without any real concern about being found out, speaks volumes of how things get done in certain African countries (having dead voters on the register or babies?) and the total disregard for the rule of law.
