It is important to know that the 79.7% was given to Lukashenka by the head of the electoral committee, his long-time ally. There are poll results from electoral stations where the lead opposition candidate has 80% while other electoral stations just across the street show 80% for Lukashenka. There is a lot of variation in results, depending on whether electoral station members could be bullied to sign off rigged results or not.

Also, the world completely missed the wonderful election campaing by three beautiful women that took on the leadership after their men were jailed or ran away. They are calling themselves Love, Might, Win. The lead opposition candidate, the Might of the trio emerged as the nation leader literally in a matter of weeks. Her speeches are smiple, peaceful and straight to the point. She did not call people into streets. Still, 100,000 confronted the police tonight for her. Some died.
