KIEV, Ukraine Nov 29, 2004 — Outgoing President Leonid Kuchma said Monday that Ukraine could hold a new election to settle the escalating crisis over the disputed presidential runoff, the Interfax news agency reported.

Kuchma said a new vote might be the only way out of the standoff in which tens of thousands of opposition supporters have blocked official buildings in the capital for several days and eastern provinces are threatening to seek autonomy.

"If we really want to preserve peace and accord, if we really want to build a democratic state … let's hold new elections," Kuchma said, according to Interfax.

3. It would never happen in the U.S.

Once an election is successfully stolen, you can't get another one for four years. Which gives the thieves four years to solidify their theft and refine their techniques. It seems amazing to watch democracy slip away so easily in the modern birthplace of democracy.

On edit - I hope the marches mentioned by the posters above get some response.
