Zimbabwe vote-rigging video smuggled out of country

Not that people such as Thabo Mbeki of South Africa are watching. (And strangely enough, Mbeki and the South Africa media are being asked to explain why they publicly claimed Zambia's president Mwanawasa died, when he didn't. Mwanawasa just happens to be a vocal critic of Mbeki's close friend Robert Mugabe.) Growing up in the US, we tend to think vote-tampering is exclusively a problem somewhere else, but of course, we know that's simply not true. Whenever and wherever it occurs, it's disgraceful. Watch the video embedded in the article and follow the process, including how voters were intimidated by tracking their vote to their ID.
